You still haven't directly answered the question I asked.
Maybe I'll be more direct.
Can I share only a specific directory within a filesystem?
Yes for NFS, as long as the parent filesystem/directory
has not been shared.
It is the same case for SMB.
You can map a share with specific directory in a filesystem.
SMB is more flexible than that: you can share any directory/path
multiple times anywhere in the hierarchy with no restriction on
whether or not the parent directory is shared. The only rule
for SMB is that each share must have a unique, case-insensitive
name.
Or must I share the entire filesystem?
Or is the choice over what's allowed defined by what is
implementing the sharing?
That's external to this case. The system call is simply a
conduit between libshare and sharefs and is not cognizant of
what is being shared/unshared or the rules about what can
or cannot be shared/unshared.
