Thanks for the explanation. Not really a fan then, I would not expect on-disk file system attributes to control a network service.

- derefr 5y agoMight help to think of the filesystem attributes as being ACLs restricting sharing, with the whole ZFS array being shared except where prohibited by ACL. Just that "no ACL" means "restricted." (That's basically how Windows SMB volume-sharing works.)
- Annatar 5y agoIt's been that way since 2006 when ZFS hit production with Solaris 10 u2. It's nothing new. Works a treat, because it makes ZFS properties the central point of system administration for many mundane and disparate tasks, like compression, mounting, SMB, NFS, et cetera, without having to worry about implementation details or running additional commands.
