Re: [zfs-discuss] Downgrade zpool version?
Another approach might be to stick with Solaris on the server, and run netatalk instead of SAMBA (or, you know your macs can speak NFS ;). I also built mt-daapd on Solaris (just for fun) and iTunes can see that shared library - however this wasn't much use to me as I still want to use iTunes to manage/populate the library. Alternatively you could run Banshee or mt-daapd on the Solaris box and just rely on iTunes sharing. =P Seriously, NFS is a totally reasonable way to go. Thanks for the replies. These are all good solutions that I've considered in the past. Having 1 Mac to manage all of my media is my ideal solution. It lets me sync all of the iPods in the house at 1 point and alleviates the pain of having to merge music from several computers to one central library. That said, my ideal solution seems to be a no-go at this point, so it looks like I'll have to settle on one of these suggestions anyway.

[zfs-discuss] Downgrade zpool version?
I've been using ZFS on my home media server for about a year now. There's a lot I like about Solaris, but the rest of the computers in my house are Macs. Now that the Mac has experimental read/write support for ZFS, I'd like to migrate my zpool to my Mac Pro. I primarily use the machine to serve my iTunes library and my Solaris samba shares never really played well with iTunes. The problem is that I upgraded to Solaris nv84 a while ago and bumped my zpool to version 9 (I think) at that time. The Macintosh guys only support up to version 8. There doesn't seem to be too much activity on the ZFS project at macosforge.com so I'm guessing support for v9 isn't right around the corner. I read the zpool man page and I know it says that there's no way to downgrade, but I'm grasping at straws here. My next alternative is to try to run Solaris in VMWare on the Mac, but I'd rather not have to do that.
