I tried running an OpenSolaris server so I could use ZFS but SMB Serving wasn''t reliable (it would only work for about 15 minutes). I also couldn''t get Cacti working (No PHP-SNMP support and I tried building PHP with SNMP but it failed). So now I am going to run Ubuntu with RAID1 drives. I am trying to transfer the files from my zpool (I have the drive in a USB - SATA chassis). I want to mount the pool and then volume without destroying the files if possible. If I create a pool will it destroy the contents of the pool?>From reading the doco and the forums it looks like "zpool import rpool /dev/sdc" may be what I want?I did a "zpool import" but it didn''t show the drive. It was part of a mirror maybe "zpool import -D"? I have built zfs-fuse and it seems to be working. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

That project has no relation to Opensolaris or the dev''s here. Are they even using the same/newer zfs version you created your pool on Opensolaris with? If not, it isn''t going to import. -- --Tim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Win7-x64 clients crashed my 2009.06 installation within 30 seconds of beginning a search on the shared drive. I could bork the server at-will. It only required a single client. Rolling back to 2008.11 was required for me. A significant number of people reported similar problems without win7 clients (service crashed/stuck, system cannot be rebooted properly, etc.) so I am certain it wasn''t just me. Maybe something about your client mix wasn''t hitting the bugs I (and others) ran into. --eric -- Eric D. Mudama edmudama at mail.bounceswoosh.org
I was trying to get Cacti running and it was all working except the PHP-SNMP. I installed it but the SNMP support wasn''t recognised (in phpinfo()). I was reading the posts for the Cacti package and they said they were planning to add the SNMP support. I am running a combination of Win7-64 and 32 bit computers and someone else mentioned that win7 64 causes problems. The server itself was very stable and SCP (WinSCP) worked fine but SMB wouldn''t stay up. I tried restarting the servives but only a reboot would fix it. I am more familiar with Ubuntu and Fedora. We use Red Hat Enterprise and AIX at work. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

We are using b129 successfully at work to share CIFS to mixed XP, 2003, Win7 and Win7-64 clients ... you''ll need to either start from b129 (or 130?) from genunix.org, or update to it from 2009.06 by switching to the dev repository and updating your image. --eric -- Eric D.

Each of these problems that you faced can be solved. Please ask for help on each of these via separate emails to osol-discuss and you''ll get help. I say so because I''m moving my infrastructure to opensolaris for these services, among others. -- Sriram On 12/29/09, Duane Walker <duane at walker-family.org> wrote:> I tried running an OpenSolaris server so I could use ZFS but SMB Serving > wasn''t reliable (it would only work for about 15 minutes).
