The 'concept' of the 'root' is new to me, maybe there are some deeper explanation of the purpose? Are there supposed to be more than one 'root' enries or only one? At this very moment mounting seems to work, but I always get a 'permission denied' error on every ZFS exported filesystem. Doing the same with UFS2 filesystems, everything works as expected. Is there a way to inspect the exports and mounts for the used NFS-protocol? When issuing 'mount', the 'backup' mount is repoted to be 'newnfs', I assume this reflects NFSv4 being used, now I need to figure out what's going wrong with the ZFS export. NFS export of the ZFS filesystem is enabled, but as far as I know, this feature is not used in FreeBSD since ZFS in FreeBSD lacks of the capabilities of autonomously exporting its via NFS - well, I'm not an expert in this matter. Thanks a lot, Oliver
