Re: ZFS and NFS or CIFS
--As of August 19, 2011 1:43:23 AM -0400, Chris Brennan is alleged to have said: I have several ZFS volumes set up on my FreeBSD 8.2 (32-bit) server at home and I am trying to figure out how to set up a NFS and/or CIFS share of the various volumes I have created and for the life of me, I can't figure it out. I don't really care which one or both right now (I should learn both). I just have tons and tons of data to move from my Windows desktop to this server and I'd like to use something other then SFTP, even over my LAN, it's very slow. Many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction... --As for the rest, it is mine. I've only tried NFS, but it's fairly easy. Either of these are controlled by ZFS properties, set by the command `zfs set` with the property names being 'sharesmb' or 'sharenfs'. The value of the property is the options you want to use for the share. See `man zfs` for more detail, plus the docs for the type of share you decide to set up for the options. Daniel T.

Good luck! Regards, Henry 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.
