Actually reading that article this stands out "An important thing to bear in mind is that you will need to run the steps below for sharing on every pool/dataset that you wish to share, no matter the hierarchy." With Unraid settings as a ZFS pool you can only export the root pool, it doesn't do any of the datasets Which makes sense why I can see all the folders when I mount the NFS drive that way but can't see any files So I would need an option in Unraid to be able to mount all the datasets as well The way I do it with the script now works because the commands replicates from the top down to all the datasets

Yes that's what I have to do to get it working I mount the NFS shares with the ZFS commands in the user scripts plugin I set it to run at First Array Start Only Those commands create the file /etc/exports.d/zfs.exports If I reboot that file does not persist so the commands need to be run again to add the shares I've done it a few times and it works but if I take it down manually to do something and bring it back up again it won't run and I have to remember to do it Or I'm sure at some point if the plugin breaks with an update or somehow the command runs before the pool is imported it will break it If it could persist somehow by Unraid managing the command itself to run when the pool mounts that would be awesome I'm sure at some point someone else is going to run into this issue

I have a question regarding ZFS NFS exports To properly shared ZFS datasets it's required to have the /etc/exports.d/zfs.exports configured for the shares This obviously doesn't persist after a reboot because it's not part of the saveable file system The only way I've got around it so far is to run a user script at array start to run the ZFS commands to populate the file again It works ok but it can fail if there is some race condition if it executes the command before the zfs pool imports So not sure if there is something already implemented I'm missing for this to persist or it would have to be a feature request for NFS shares? If you just manually create a folder in the ZFS pool, the standard NFS shares work, but you lose the ability for snapshots etc which isn't ideal and one of the best points of ZFS

I've made a user script to run the command on array start That has got around it for now Maybe their is something more official in a setting somewhere I can set to have it persist In the boot partition maybe

Looking at getting some advice with NFS exports for ZFS datasets I've create a ZFS pool and created a test dataset to start with When I export via the Shares Tab I can mount on another device I can see the folder mount on the external host but can't see anything within it I was having a look around and saw that with ZFS you need to set it on So if I run the command zfs set sharenfs=on poolname I can then mount the NFS share and see the files correctly But the problem then it doesn't persist after boot This all might be a bit vague and maybe I haven't provided enough information Please let me know if anyone can help
