Hi, I was just wondering if ZFS root is likely to be an install option any time soon, either in SXCR or the June Solaris update? The mechanism at Tabriz''s blog seem to work well, but it''d be nice to get it out of the box. -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/

ZFS introduces a new and incompatible ACL interface into Solaris and this seems to be not yet fully completed in addition to the fact that is causes a lot of problems for software that needs to be compatible with Solaris-2.5 like star. Proof for incompatibility: create a file on UFS and set an ACL for this file. Use Sun tar cpf out file to archive this file. Unpack this archive file on ZFS

I have posted a blog http://solaristhings.blogspot.com/ on how I have configured a zfs root partition on my laptop. It is a slightly modified version of Tabriz''s blog http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/tabriz?entry=are_you_ready_to_rumble The main differences, is that I only require a very small ufs partition for grub, and I detail how to use a zfs clone as a test root partition.

Hi, S10U3: It seems, that ufs POSIX-ACLs are not properly translated to zfs ACL4 entries, when one xfers a directory tree from UFS to ZFS. Test case: Assuming one has an user A and B, both belonging to group G and having their umask set to 022: 1) On UFS - as user A do: mkdir /dir chmod 0775 /dir setfacl -m d:u::rwx,d:g::rwx,d:o:r-x,d:m:rwx /dir # samba would

On our network, some users authenticate against a linux server running NIS, while some authenticate against a Windows NT machine via Samba. We want to dispense with the Windows machine (who wouldn't!). Ideally, I'd like to preserve the users' current passwords. Does the Samba suite include tools that allow this? Thank you for your help!

I'm new to the CentOS arena and I'm curious as to what virtualization products are preferred? The two main ones that I know of are Xen and VMWare. VMWare seems to be the most capable inre: number and size of vm's allowed. When looking at Xen it appears that since Citrix acquired them the free version is cripple-ware and is very restrictive. Thanks in advance for any information.

I have OSol 2009.06 (b111a), and I''m not sure I''m getting this ZFS ACL thing: %whoami abalfour % ls -V file ----------+ 1 abalfour root 1474560 May 11 18:43 file owner@:-w--d--A-W-C--:-------:deny according to that ACL I shouldn''t be able to write anything having to do with file, correct? % cat >> file zsh: permission denied: file % mv file

I have 2 internal disk drives, that I would like to mirror. Can I do that with zfs? If so, how? Thanks -Troy

Hi, I am trying to understand the use of volblocksize in emulated volumes. If I create a volume in pool and I want a database engine to read and write, say 16K blocks. Should I then set volblocksize to 16K ? Regards, Patrik This message posted from opensolaris.org

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive as a source. Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will be possible? Thanks, Jerry

I have a samba server set so that each user in a windows 2003 active directory can have their own personal, private share. I would like to know how to set up Samba so that their directory is created automatically, rather than me creating 1300 directories on the linux server. I cannot use pam_mkhomedir.so because 'security = ads' in smb.conf and 'encryption = yes' must be

I have a weekly scrub setup, and I''ve seen at least once now where it says "don''t snapshot while scrubbing" Is this a data integrity issue, or will it make one or both of the processes take longer? Thanks

When i execute poweroff.com, I get the following error: "APM not present" Is there some workaround currently? The restart option works, and when I boot into ANY linux OS, the poweroff or lalt commands DO Power off the computer.

As part of looking into a minor issue with the group listed when using runat(1) on a UFS filesystem for Johannes (my Google Summer of Code student work on new basic file privs), I discovered an even bigger issue with UFS and extended attributes. I''ve cc''d ZFS discuss because I used ZFS as the comparison and I believe that ZFS is acting correctly but even then it might not be

Whats the status of the zfs create time option setting ? Is someone working on it yet ? -- Darren J Moffat

Hi All, I am looking at trying to understand the conceptual model of how data is grouped and partitioned within a storge pool. In looking at the on disk document that Tabriz sent out a few weeks ago I see that object sets are the grouping which ZFS uses to group objects that are related. Specifially to aid in format and layout of like objects in to a set. So, for example 1 potential object

Hi, Is it expected that if I have filesystem tank/foo and tank/foo/bar (mounted under /tank) then in order to be able to browse via /net down into tank/foo/bar I need to have group/other permissions on /tank/foo open? # zfs create tank/foo # zfs create tank/foo/bar # chown gavinm /tank/foo /tank/foo/bar # zfs set sharenfs=rw tank/foo # ls -laR /tank/foo /tank/foo: total 9 drwxr-xr-x 3 gavinm

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
