Description
|
Users of NFS-mounted home directories based on ZFS filesystems don't get to use ZFS snapshots - to them, their home directory just appears as any other NFS share on a client machine. This means they don't get the ability to manage snapshots of their home directories, create sub-filesystems, perform rollbacks, backups, set quotas (eg. "don't allow /home/timf/.Trash to grow above 400mb") and all the other good stuff that ZFS has to offer.
The best they can hope for currently, is a remote login to their NFS server, and delegated administration from there.
This RFE requests better integration between NFS-shared home directories and the functionality that ZFS can offer - perhaps this is as simple as an ssh-wrapper that remotely executes "zfs ..." commands on their nfs server ? In any case, we should be able to implement this for the user.
