Having problems starting up NFS on an OpenSolaris box
I am trying to set up an OpenSolaris box to be an NFS server.

The OpenSolaris version is 2008.11.

The kernel (uname -a output) is: SunOS minime-28 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86pc

It is running ZFS but I know nothing about ZFS.

I have an entry in the /etc/dfs/dfstab file:
share -F nfs -o rw /vol1

I added an entry in the /etc/exportfs file:
/vol1 *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

I tried the svcadm command:
svcadm enable nfs/server

A ps -ef | grep nfs command shows nothing

the svcs nfs/server command shows:
STATE STIME FMRI
offline 14:43:32 svc:/network/nfs/server:default


Am I missing a step here? I'm not familiar with ZFS or Solaris so I'm not sure what to do next.

Thanx.

I found the problem
I was trying to add an entry to the /etc/dfs/dfstab and the /etc/dfs/sharetab by editing the file. Instead, I had to use the "share" command to do so.

After I invoked this command, the nfsd daemon started up:

share -F nfs -o rw /vol1
