Henry, I'm very familiar with Samba as a standalone appliance, have been using it for quite some time. But that wasn't what I wanted to do. It's my understand that ZFS can export to both ZFS *and* CIFS/SMB, I'd like to know how to actually do (maybe utilize is the correct term instead of use) that. If it were as easy as just installing Samba from Ports or Packages, then I would have done so already, but I am trying to teach myself how ZFS can be useful in my environments and not limit myself or taking the long way around. But thank you regardless, if it turns out, I can't accomplish my goal (of utilizing NFS and/or CIFS/SMB from within ZFS) then I will go the tried and true and very traditional route of install Samba. -- > Chris Brennan > -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ | http://xkcd.com/549/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
