Hi ; Cant remember on top of my head. Do solaris latest version support Cifs ? Or do we need Open solaris ?

The in-kernel CIFS stack is not in Solaris 10 Update 5, and will never appear in any Solaris 10 update, because the kernel changes required are too invasive. You need OpenSolaris. -- Fred On Apr 18, 2008, at 2:56 AM, Mertol Ozyoney wrote:> Hi ; > > Cant remember on top of my head. Do solaris latest version support > Cifs ?

Hi all, A bit confused now... Wasn''t Samba an implementation of CIFS which also runs on Solaris?

Correct. Of course the in-kernel CIFS stack will make it into the next "marketing release" (or whatever you want to call it, the thing that we think of as "Solaris 11.") It will be in the upcoming supported release of OpenSolaris. It will appear in other, supported distributions of OpenSolaris. But to put it into a Solaris 10 update would require a backport. The backport would entail changes to the VFS layer, which would break all other Solaris 10 file systems (including file systems not made by Sun, e.g. VxFS.) We''re not going to do that. (And yes, we have worked with Symantec to inform them of the changes they have to make to ensure that Veritas file systems work with the new VFS layer going forward.) -- Fred On Apr 18, 2008, at 7:26 AM, Tim wrote:> > > On Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 9:12 AM, Zlotnick Fred > <Fred.Zlotnick at sun.com> wrote: > The in-kernel CIFS stack is not in Solaris 10 Update 5, > and will never appear in any Solaris 10 update, because > the kernel changes required are too invasive.

Yes, but not in-kernel. If you want CIFS on S10, use Samba. -- Fred On Apr 18, 2008, at 7:42 AM, Sengor wrote:> Hi all, > > A bit confused now...

Development targets nevada first, and then selected features are backported to an update release. update releases are (conceptually) a branch/fork off of the main line.> It will make it back to mainline, but just not until the next solaris > release (something other than 10updateX), correct?it''s already in the solaris mainline. it''s not going into a solaris 10 update branch. the mainline is released via SXDE/SXCE and other future release vehicles. - Bill
