:> question to solaris forum

Since you have been (and you alone) kind enough to try and help me, I
will give you in writing a detailed explanation on how this mess came to
be : however, as I explained, I have only known the Solaris OS, or any
other *nix for that matter, for three and a half months, with various
instances of success and failure. I have tried a lot, read a lot,
searched a lot, and I have often failed - things like compiling an app
on Solaris, just for one example.
When I do not find the necessary information - here, how to have the
blasted server broadcast its name so my backup program can catch it - I
ask on a list. Aren''t they made for just that ? Believe me,
I''ve tried
places, to no avail.

I did. Couldn''t find what I was looking for.

I kind of understand I should not have done that. But I did. Please see
below.
> there is zfs list
> zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org
Actually, I have (I had) a subscription to those two lists. What
happened is that I intended to ask my question on zfs-discuss, but when
I did, I answered a message that was in the zfs-discuss but had actually
been cross-posted from OpenIndiana-discuss - something one should *not*
do, except on utterly justified occurrences. Consequently, my question
appeared on the OpenIndiana list, where it was immediately intercepted
by the local cybercops. I then was chastised by a couple of people.
Later on, I wrote another message expressing that I failed to see why my
question should be considered off-topic. It elicited yet another answer
regarding the fact that a "fork" had occurred and I shouldn''t
be asking
such questions; obviously, I was on the devil''s side of the fork, and
as
one knows, dining with the devil implies using a very long "fork" -
private joke. I then decided to leave that list, that now has very
little appeal to me, given the local mores. I did just that. However, I
consulted the last messages on the archive, and had the pleasure to see
that after I left the list, someone (thanks Dmitry) had found there had
been what could be called, for a lack of a better word, a certain lack
of courtesy towards my person.
But it was too late. There''s only so much I can take.
> Tell more How did you export your ZFS to window
I used smb shares; I have read and printed the whole sun (now oracle)
book on how configuring smb shares, and I can tell you that I now am
proficient with that. It works very well, and seems more that reliable.
But I could find nothing even remotely related to my humble request.
But I am a stubborn frog, and I''ll certainly find out, in due time, how
to have a ZFS server using smb shares broadcast its name on the network..
Thanks again for willing to help.
Amiti?s, Robert
PS: since cross-posting seems to be the rage these days, I''ll copy that
to the zfs-discuss list, in case a noble soul...
