How to NFSv4 share a ZFS file system on FreeBSD?
Solution 1:
NFSv4 is built in on FreeBSD (Experimental support in 8.x, production quality in 9.x and lter).
The nfsd should be located in /etc/rc.d/nfsd
You should first enable it within rc.conf file or running /etc/rc.d/nfsd onestart
1) Enable nfsecho nfs_server_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
For NFSv4 you will also need the following:
echo nfsv4_server_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
(To enable NFSv4)echo nfsuserd_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
(The NFS user/group info needed for v4)
2) Create directories and export them
# mkdir -p /mnt/{dir1,dir2}
# vi /etc/exports
(add the following lines to the /etc/exports
file)
/mnt/dir1 -alldirs 192.168.1.x/24
/mnt/dir2 -alldirs 192.168.1.x/24
3) restart nfsd either using /etc/rc.d/nfsd restart
or service nfsd restart
