So, I got b76 installed on my server, and even got SVM mirroring of the root and swap partitions set up (since I paid for hot-swap drive bays, I want to use them!). (The actual data is in a ZFS pool on the other hot-swap drives.)
The next step was going to be getting liveupgrade going, and I think that's still the right choice. And then I was going to get the Samba server going again, so the windows boxes could get at the space (that being what this server was bought for in the first place). And I see that in b77 a bunch of new stuff was committed, that provides an integrated CIFS server. Looks like it does better on the fine points of compatibility, ACLs, Windows identities, and such. I don't recall claims being made about performance, but it seems conceivable that Solaris-specific code integrated in the kernel might perform better, too. But it's brand-new code, and completely unfamiliar to me (whereas I've run Samba a lot on Linux and a bit on Solaris before), and if I read the announcement right, the documentation isn't done yet. Anybody have any additional facts bearing on which one I should try to get working? Or even opinions (though I'd prefer some argument, rather than just baldly stated opinion)? -- David Dyer-Bennet, [EMAIL PROTECTED]; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
