zfs get readonly tank/mydata NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE tank/mydata readonly off local zfs set readonly=on tank/mydata echo $? 0 zfs get readonly tank/mydata NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE tank/mydata readonly on local sudo -u acmeuser zfs set readonly=on tank/mydata cannot mount 'tank/mydata': Insufficient privileges property may be set but unable to remount filesystem echo $? 255 I would like to get this user to be able to run this command. How do I get a zero returned? Note: I don't actually need to be able to change the readonly state, just for the command to set it to ON when it is already ON to return a zero status rather than 255. This has to do with a script that executes this command even if readonly already is set to ON which would be difficult to change. Note that: zfs allow tank/mydata returns both the mount and the readonly permissions. Which others are necessary?
