Is it possible to share a folder with cifs without adding a zfs volume? I also have not found out how to share a folder with zfs, is it possible? If it''s possible, how? I searched google and this forum but found no answers to my question. Greets Louis Hoefler PS.: I hope this was the right forum for my question. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Ok I found the share folder gnome gui. Its in coffecup->administration->shared folders. But, if I add a folder with this gui, it does not show up on windows. I tried svcadm restart smb/server but nothing happened. The gui created a /etc/sfw/smb.conf file, which holds the folder I added. I found another network/samba service. If I try to start it i get this error: [2009/01/18 21:25:05, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(822) bind failed on port 445 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0. Error = Address already in use Maybe the smb/server and network/samba services can not work together? What am I doing wrong? Greets Louis Hoefler. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

If you do that you shouldn''t set the sharesmb property, though. Use either the sharesmb property or use sharemgr directly. The CIFS administration guide should have examples of using sharemgr. -Mark

If you want to enable network/samba, you''d have to disable smb/server. According to Mark below, you should be able to share just a folder leveraging sharemgr though, so maybe look into that first.

Ok I found a solution.
Thanks for your help.
svcadm enable samba wins swat
modified /etc/sfw/smb.conf:
[global]
server string = Unix-Windows share
security = SHARE
wins server = 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.1
[apache22]
comment = Apache 2.2 share
path = /var/apache2/2.2
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
svcadm restart samba
Now i see my share.
Another solution was written via email.
The advice was to use sharemgr directly to setup shares. Right now I need to use
swat or I need to edit the /etc/sfw/smb.conf

I switched to the CIFS filesharing system. All that I needed to do was to disable the samba wins swat services, then i started the smb/server service. I followed the CIFS administration guide. Almost everything worked without problems. The only problem I got was a ?wins? resolution error. So, if I tried to access \\"hostname" I got a error message that windows was not able to log on. I tried the ip insteal of the hostname, suffixed by the share (-r resource-name) I just created, what worked. I restarted the smb/server service again. No changes. I restarted the machine, now everything works without problems. Somehow there where problems with the windows name resolution without the restart. Maybe thats becouse I used the wins deamon before?
