Admin share |
Path =/mnt/core-pool/lab · Name =lab |

Path =/mnt/core-pool/agency · Name =agency |
Business share |
Step 3 – Enable shares at ZFS level (CLI)
zfs set sharesmb=on core-pool/lab
zfs set sharesmb=on core-pool/agency
Step 4 – Create NFS export for backups
zfs set sharenfs=on core-pool/lab/backups
Validation
smbclient -L //truenas -U labuser
Windows › \truenas\agency
showmount -e truenas
