hello do you want to use it as a file smb-fileserver or do you want to have other windows services? if you want to use it as a file server only, i would suggest to use build in cifs server.
iscsi will be always slower than native cifs server and you have snapshots via windows property previous version with opensolaris cifs server. i'm just on the way to replace our windows file server with zfs server (nexenta + napp-it) for our students and up to now i have a good feeling about - after one year of evaluating and hesitating. i would say, now it*s not just good enough, its better than a windows 200x file server. acl is working nearly like on windows. the best is, we can allow our user to set access rights. even if they remove admin access (needed for backuos), root can read files due to underlaying unix. gea -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
