Re: Sharing ZFS pools



Having read a bit more, it seems I can still share my ZFS pool via Samba by using the normal Samba application, but that it is not possible to share via NFS. Is this correct?

Will NFS support be added in future (is there a rough date?)? Otherwise I will consider switching to FreeBSD as I want to use NFS for performance and other reasons.
