[geeks] Solaris 10 puzzle

[Sandwich Maker]

" From: Phil Stracchino <alaric at metrocast.net>
" 
" Folks, anyone have any insights on this?
" 
" Assume two Solaris 10 hosts.  Call them H1 and H2.  Both reside on the
" same subnet, and in fact have almost adjacent IP addresses.
" 
" Assume two Solaris zones, one each.  Call them H1z1 and H2z1.
" 
" Assume a ZFS filesystem, H1:/foo, on H1, NFS exported via ZFS,
" rw=H1z1:H2z1,root=H1z1:H2z1.
" 
" H1z1 and H2z1 mount this same share at /bar, with identical options, and
" have so far as I can see identical services running.
" 
" All applicable mountpoints, on H1, H1z1, and H1z2, are owned by the same
" user and group (in this case, oracle:oinstall).  The user and group
" oracle and oinstall are defined and valid, and have the same numeric
" uid/gid, on all three.
" 
" 
" H1:/foo mounts on H2z1:/bar as oracle:oinstall.
" H1:/foo mounts on H1z1:/bar as nobody:nobody.
" 
" ....WTF?  I'm baffled.

on older solarii, 'nfs' mounts onto the same system are actually done
by loopback, more efficiently.  could this be playing into your
problem?

random q - what's the ownership of the underlying mountpoint?
