similar to: enterprise scale redundant Solaris 10/ZFS server providing NFSv4/CIFS

I''m currently prototyping a Solaris file server that will dish out user home directories and group project directories via NFSv4 and Samba. I have samba configured and integrated into our local active directory, with ACL mapping working. I''m a little confused as to the behavior of the ZFS ACL though. on a brand-new filesystem, touching a file results in: -rw-r--r-- 1 root

I'm trying to get Samba 3.0.28 to work as an MS Dfs root providing a share that links home directories to the actual servers they reside on. Unfortunately, when I access the share from a Windows XP client, and try to open one of the directories, the client gives an error that it "refers to a location that is unavailable". I've done a lot of searching, and found a number of

All, I assume this issue is pretty old given the time ZFS has been around. I have tried searching the list but could not get understand the structure of how ZFS actually takes snapshot space into account. I have a user walter on whom I try to do the following ZFS operations bash-3.00# zfs get quota store/catB/home/walter NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE

I have Dovecot2 auth setup to run as user = doveauth group = dovecot configured in, vi conf.d/10-master.conf ... service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { user = postfix group = postfix mode = 0660 } user = doveauth group = dovecot } service auth-worker { user = doveauth group = dovecot } ... When I start Dovecot, ls -al

We are running dovecot to provide authentication for postfix, using two mysql servers in a multi-master replication set as the password source: ---------------------------------------- # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.0.2 auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes passdb { args =

Hi, Just wondering if anyone was looking at implementing draft-ietf-secsh-gsskeyex-00 in OpenSSH? My patches for SSH version 1 Kerberos 5 support (heavily based upon work done by Dan Kouril) are now available from http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/ Is there any interest in integrating these into the distribution? If so, I'd be happy to update them to the development version. Cheers,

While thinking about ZFS as the next generation filesystem without limits I am wondering if the real world is ready for this kind of incredible technology ... I''m actually speaking of hardware :) ZFS can handle a lot of devices. Once in the import bug (http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6761786) is fixed it should be able to handle a lot of disks. I want to

I'm running 2.0.17 and I'm still seeing a decent amount of "MySQL server has gone away" errors, despite having multiple hosts defined in my auth userdb 'connect'. This is Debian Lenny 32-bit and I'm seeing the same thing with 2.0.16 on Debian Squeeze 64-bit. E.g.: Jan 12 20:30:33 auth-worker: Error: mysql: Query failed, retrying: MySQL server has gone away Our mail

I was wondering if there was any news on the patches proposed by Ed Plese last year regarding updates for shadow copies to be better compatible with Solaris ZFS: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2007-February/051510.html Reviewing the release notes for the upcoming 3.2 release: http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/pre/WHATSNEW-3-2-0pre2.txt I don't see any mention of changes to

If this information is correct, http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=133043 further development of ZFS will take place behind closed doors. Opensolaris will become the internal development version of Solaris with no public distributions. The community has been abandoned. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Group- -Computer and Network Services-

As is altogether far too common an occurance, we were having a problem where a file was not inheriting the correct ACL, but rather a horribly munged one resulting in incorrect permissions and security problems. It appeared something was chmod''ing the file after creation, but despite best efforts we simply could not find the culprit. After much investigation, we determined the ACL was

I'm working with the Solaris bundled version of samba 3.5.5 and having a problem with server signing. samba is configured into an active directory domain with security = ads. With signing enabled, connections from clients in the domain work fine. However, connections from clients not in the domain fail: ----- >net use /user:WIN\henson \\ike.unx.csupomona.edu\henson Enter the password for

We've been using a fairly old version of samba for quite some time to serve user home directories and group project directories with a configuration approximately like: ----- [global] default service = groups [homes] path = /export/user/%u [groups] path = /export/group/%S ----- This has worked out very well, the samba configuration is minimal, and does not need to

The vendor wanted to come in and replace an HDD in the 2nd X4500, as it was "constantly busy", and since our x4500 has always died miserably in the past when a HDD dies, they wanted to replace it before the HDD actually died. The usual was done, HDD replaced, resilvering started and ran for about 50 minutes. Then the system hung, same as always, all ZFS related commands would just

Hi guys, we are proposing a customer a couple of X4500 (24 Tb) used as NAS (i.e. NFS server). Both server will contain the same files and should be accessed by different clients at the same time (i.e. they should be both active) So we need to guarantee that both x4500 contain the same files: We could simply copy the contents on both x4500 , which is an option because the "new

Ciao, the rot filesystem of my thumper is a ZFS with a single disk: bash-3.2# zpool status rpool pool: rpool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 c5t0d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 spares c0t7d0 AVAIL c1t6d0 AVAIL c1t7d0

Running an mmap-intensive workload on ZFS on a X4500, Solaris 10 11/06 (update 3). All file IO is mmap(file), read memory segment, unmap, close. Tweaked the arc size down via mdb to 1GB. I used that value because c_min was also 1GB, and I was not sure if c_max could be larger than c_min....Anyway, I set c_max to 1GB. After a workload run....: > arc::print -tad { . . . ffffffffc02e29e8

I am bumping this thread because I too have the same question ... can I put modern 3TB disks (hitachi deskstars) into an old x4500 ? If not, would the x4540 accept them ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Heya all, I''m working on testing ZFS with NFS, and I could use some guidance - read speeds are a bit less than I expected. Over a gig-e line, we''re seeing ~30 MB/s reads on average - doesn''t seem to matter if we''re doing large numbers of small files or small numbers of large files, the speed seems to top out there. We''ve disabled pre-fetching, which

Hi, we have a new fileserver running on X4275 hardware with Solaris 10U8. On this fileserver we created one test dir with quota and mounted these on another Solaris 10 system. Here the quota command didnot show the used quota. Does this feature only work with OpenSolaris or is it intended to work on Solaris 10? Here what we did on the server: # zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/home2
