It's Just Another Layer » nfs http://itsjustanotherlayer.com Virtualization is a layer in software. What are you abstracting away from?

zfs set sharenfs=anon=0 usbpool/virtuals

I wouldn’t mind having stuff like this if I could figure out how to properly get logging of the issues/connections in OpenSolaris. Anybody know how to increasing logging for the NFS services in OpenSolaris?

If you are attempting to do an mount and get a Permission Denied from either Linux or ESX the solution is rather easy.

Make sure that the IP address that you are connecting with has a reverse DNS entry with a hostname.

That’s it. 4 hours and that’s the gotcha. If you don’t have a reverse DNS you’ll never get the mount to work.
