Hi, 

Sorry I meant export. I have not tried the NFS client in a zone but as I said 
exporting an NFS share from the global zone worked fine and maybe that's good 
enough for a small local setup. 

Cheers for the "unfs3" help - I must have missed it when searching the pkg's 
earlier. 

Sean.

 The NFS client absolutely does work in zones.  It's the NFS server
 (i.e., exporting file systems _from_ zones to be mounted by other
 systems) that isn't available.
 
 If you absolutely need to provide NFS server functionality in a zone,
 there are a number of options.  One example is the "unfs3" usermode
 NFS server, which doesn't use the in-kernel NFS functionality at all.
 This program is available as a pkgsrc package.
 
 Cheers.
