In my experience in order to make NFSv4 work it's necessary to configure a "root" share with fsid=0 or something like that and mount the actual shares using a path relative to it (my NFS "server" is currently down, so I can't check exactly what I did). > Access for me is by UID.

As far as I know ZFS is using the kernel NFS server, it's just providing a convenient method to share / unshare so it's not necessary to mess with /etc/exports if all your shares are ZFS data sets. (zfs-utils Suggests: nfs-kernel-server and https://wiki.debian.org/ZFS#NFS_shares implies the same) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
