Hi all, I''m setting up a new fileserver, and while I''m not planning on enabling CIFS right away, I know I will in the future. I know there are several ZFS properties or attributes that affect how CIFS behaves. I seem to recall that at least one of those needs to be set early (like when the filesystem [or pool?] is created? Which properties might those be? Where can I find more info the CIFS/ZFS interaction? -Kyle
Hi Kyle, The first thing to plan for is that the Solaris CIFS services are not available in the Solaris 10 release. You can use the property descriptions in this table to review the CIFS related features. Using your browser''s find in page feature and searching on CIFS is probably the easiest way to review this information. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2271/6mhupg6lt?a=view#gcfgr Table 6?1 ZFS Native Property Descriptions If you want to find more about using ZFS with the CIFS services, then I would suggest the Solaris CIFS Administration Guide, here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2429 The OSOL CIFS community also has discussion lists for questions.

For the DOS attribute support you must have a ZPL version 3+ file system. I believe most of this is described in the CIFS admin guide. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2429> Where can I find more info the CIFS/ZFS interaction? > > -Kyle > > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
