I couldn't do several relatively simple and straightforward things. Like for example: - Creating a group didn't work. I clicked on "settins", "users" then "new group", gave it a name and added some users, than clicked on "create new". However the group was not created, and no feedback was given that the operation was unsuccessful. - I then found out how to create groups on the command line, however I also noticed that when creating a group on the console, and adding a user to it while creating this group removes that user from other groups. Also I could not find out where on the console I could add users to a group, nor could I add users to a group via the web console. Manipulating users and groups is a quite essential to operatin a NAS. That this fails to work as expected without any hint as to why this would fail does not give me a good impression. A second issue was when manipulating ACLs. Given a zfs volume with a large quota set, 2.4T in this case. When you go to the directory page, where you can add and remove ACLs the web interface fills out the fields with the current value. In this case the quota field will be pre filled with the value 2.4T. However when I then try to remove an ACL the interace complains that the quota field contains an illegal value... I have to manually change 2.4T to 2400G, and do this each time I try to do something with an ACL. After these experiences I decided to give up on nexentastor. I have no problem with managing users, groups and shares using unix commands. The GUI is only needed for in case someone else needs to do something on the system. However if the GUI fails such simple tasks it's not really usefull. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
