My business is running a very mixed environment. We have both Linux and Windows (and one Mac), and now I'm looking into adding OpenSolaris to the mix. Our fileservers are all running Samba. On the Linux machines shares are accessed using mount.cifs. Each user simply mounts the relevant shares

I think that this is a problem with VMware and not a problem with OpenSolaris, and since VMware is a closed-source proprietary architecture, there is nothing we can do to help since only VMware has the source code for their software. If you purchased a support contract from VMware then you can

I presume that Solaris simply doesn't implement the right functions. I'd love to be corrected. Ok zetetic, so I'll love to correct you then. I think Solaris actually does implement the right functions for S.M.A.R.T., and you actually can get S.M.A.R.T. data (and much more) on Solaris 10

On the surface it looked like the perfect match: Run rsync, and when done, take a ZFS snapshot. It is, and if you turn on compression, it is better than perfect ;-) And with dedup, it will be even better. Compression and dedup are indeed cool. Be conscious of the side-effects. They

Which shell are you using and which OS is this? I'm guessing it's ksh, so I guess you're using Solaris 10? It could be Bourne shell /bin/sh, but this also implies Solaris 10. From the info you've given, I'd say the en_US locale is not installed. locale -a will list all available locales.

Nope. It's clear you're misunderstanding something here. To restore something from zfs snapshot, assuming your zfs filesystem is /backupdrive what you do is ... Look in /backupdrive/.zfs/ and you'll see all the previous copies of the filesystem. You can copy files out of there, and
