When using zonecfg add fs, what is the functional difference between
type=lofs and type=zfs?

I know that lofs mounts a directory from the GZ in one or more NGZs.  It
was suggested [1] that this is actually the recommended method over using
NFS. NFS server and NFS client with the same kernel can lead to kernel
deadlocks - not sure if this is still an issue.

The only detail I can find specifically about type=zfs is that: "You can
add a ZFS file system as a generic file system when the goal is *solely to
share space* with the global zone."

Can you also mount the type=zfs filesystem in the GZ? Or other NGZs?

Is there a specific reason with smartos to use either option?
