Hey!
Question about accessing data.

I'm running FreeNAS-11.1-RELEASE and I have one VM, a Ubuntu 17.10 Desktop. In this VM, I want to mount data that I have on the same FreeNAS installation. Now I do this in Ubuntu with CIFS and I have a CIFS (Windows SMB) share in FreeNAS. Works great. But I'm thinking.. CIFS / SMB isn't really fast. Is there a way that I can mount this volume/dataset in Ubuntu, without using CIFS?
I think the question could also be: is there a block device file that I can use in this Ubuntu VM, to mount the ZFS database in FreeNAS?

Sure: NFS, or whatever other networked file-sharing protocol you prefer.

No.
