@dexter I think I need a lot more info/experience. I don't actually know much about NFS or SMB, so I can only guess the problems you're running in to.

OpenZFS definitely has enough information to uniquely identify an object within a pool (dataset id/object id pair). Skimming the NFSv4 spec, it seems like it should be nbd to put all datasets into a single virtual namespace. But thats me imagining NFS as a first-class interface to ZFS, rather that a standalone server using POSIX interfaces. Its quite possible we don't expose enough info for a server to use.

I'd be happy to chat to an NFS server person if they'd like to work with me on plumvong useful info our org ZFS for a server to use!

@robn I don’t know what the original motivation was but different datasets a.k.a. “file systems” behave just like that on the POSIX level: as if they are on different partitions. I suspect this is to keep from exhausting inode numbers, in practice it makes for #weird behavior if you nest datasets in a single share. There might be opportunities for OpenZFS to be smarter, but a blunt instrument that shares/pools/spans inode numbers might be adequate.

The cover of Black Sabbath's 1970 debut album was shot at Mapledurham Watermill, Oxfordshire. To get the right light, the shoot was conducted at 4.00 am. Contrary to popular belief, the hooded figure is not Ozzy Osbourne, but an 18-year-old female model. The model was chosen for her short stature, to make her look overwhelmed by the eerie landscape. To enhance the photo's uncanny feel, a smoke machine was used and the shot was taken with film used for aerial photographs, which gave the photo its pinkish light. The film was also boiled then frozen to make the image grainier. Props included a stuffed crow - named Yorick - who appears on the back cover and, apparently, a live black cat. The photographer swears the model is holding the cat though the model says she has no recollection of this. #music #metal #gothic #weird #history #folklore #art #photography #psychogeography
