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?
