I am new to OpenSolaris and ZFS so please forgive the novelty of the questions.
I am creating a server at home for running a web server and more importantly for data backup for the family. I have installed OpenSolaris 8.11 on a new drive with two 1tb drives installed also. I have created a ZFS pool mirrored on the two 1tb drives and shared them via nfs. This is where the success ends. Problem 1: I cannot mount the ZFS pool (landover/data) on my ubuntu machine (foundation is in my hosts file on the ubuntu machine). sudo mount foundation:/landover/data /data mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting foundation:/landover/data Problem 2: I cannot get smb to work in any way. Everything I have tried ended up with an error message. I installed both the sun version of smb and the samba version of the server but neither worked. I got the following errors. SMB: Unable to enable service and cannot share 'landover/test': smb add share failed I have run through different tutorials and have not had any luck at all. Here are the share reports from zfs (I am working with a different pool for each share type): root at foundation:~# zfs get sharenfs landover/data NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE landover/data sharenfs on local root at foundation:~# zfs get sharesmb landover/test NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE landover/test sharesmb on local root at foundation:~# sharemgr show -vp default nfs=() zfs zfs/landover/data nfs=() smb=() landover_data=/landover/data zfs/landover/test smb=() landover_test=/landover/test Any suggestions are appreciated. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
