.SH NAME
dfstab \- file containing commands for sharing resources across a network
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
This file is obsolete in the Oracle Solaris 11 release.
.sp
.LP
Adding share entries to the \fB/etc/dfs/dfstab\fR file is no longer required to permanently share files across a network. File systems are shared in the following ways:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
The \fBshare\fR command is used to create and publish a NFS or SMB share of a file system or directory. Using the \fBshare\fR command to share a ZFS file system is considered a legacy operation.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
The \fBzfs set share\fR command is used to establish NFS or SMB share properties for a ZFS dataset. Then, set the ZFS \fBsharenfs\fR or \fBsharesmb\fR to \fBon\fR to publish an NFS or SMB share. 
.RE
.sp
.LP
An NFS or SMB share is published automatically when a system is rebooted by an SMF service. Because an SMF service manages NFS or SMB shares, editing the \fB/etc/dfs/dfstab\fR file is obsolete.
