Currently, two system calls and a door are used to publish shares: the
nfsys multi-purpose system call to export NFS shares, the sharefs system
call to update sharetab and an smbd door to publish SMB shares. libshare
has to call the NFS or SMB service once per file system and then it has
to call sharefs once per share, which results in 1000's of system calls
to publish 1000's of shares.
This is a proposal to unify all file sharing via a single system call:
sharefs. It is also to support of PSARC 2010/124 (libshare V2), which
requires changes to NFS, SMB and ZFS.
+1 I think it may be worthwhile to explicitly state that the solaris10
brand won't be impacted by this change (and why not).
