I took another look at this configuration, and have yet another suggestion.
Instead of specifying the zfs dataset using zonecfg's datatset keyword, where
it is mounted by the zone, you can just specify that it should be mounted by
zoneadm, instead.
I previously suggested doing this:
zonecfg:zone-name> add dataset
zonecfg:zone-name:dataset> set name=zone/data
zonecfg:zone-name:dataset> end
But that delays the dataset from being mounted until after the dfstab file is
interpreted. To get it mounted earlier (by zoneadm) you should do this instead:
zfs set mountpoint=legacy zone/data
zfs set zoned=off zone/data
zonecfg:zone-name> add fs
zonecfg:zone-name:fs> set dir=/data
zonecfg:zone-name:fs> set special=zone/data
zonecfg:zone-name:fs> set type=zfs
zonecfg:zone-name:fs> end
This causes the dataset to be mounted in the zone (at /data) before the dfstab
file gets interpreted. The /zone/zone-name/etc/dfs/dfstab file should use the
pathname (/data), too.
share -F nfs /data
There are subtle differences between the two approaches. Giving the dataset to
the zone allows the zone's administrator to remount it and set other
properties. But mounting the dataset as a filesystem, the zone's administrator
no longer has that control.
