About ZFS delegation for volumes

edited Nov 14, 2017 6:01PM in Oracle Solaris ZFS File System (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

I'm reasonably comfortable with ZFS delegation for file systems, but I would like to delegate the creation of volumes to a regular user as well.

One sample scenario would be (zfs) allowing a regular user to create volumes for being used as raw vmdk disks in VirtualBox, for instance:

user1@host:~$ zfs allow extra-00/export/vdisk/solaris/guest-01---- Permissions on extra-00/export/vdisk ----------------------------Permission sets:    @descendant clone,compression,destroy,promote,quota,readonly,rename,reservation,share,sharenfs    @generic create,diff,hold,mount,receive,release,rollback,send,snapshot,userpropDescendent permissions:    user user1 @descendantLocal+Descendent permissions:    user user1 @generic

Howdy, Stranger!
