Afshin,
Thanks for your reply. We are in an enterprise environment in which active
directory is used for all user management. As we are trying to replace our
Windows shared data storage, we need to have a solution that will work without
having to define and manage Unix users and groups. What we are trying to
accomplish what we thought was a very basic task with the following three
requirements: 1. Provide storage space for various active directory managed
groups. 2. Be able to assign quotas to the space used by each group. 3. The
contents of each groups storage space should only be accessible by that group.
Currently we use shares with group directories contained within. We would like
to convert each group shared directory to a ZFS filesystem so that we can use
ZFS quotas for managing group disk usage. Our current structure looks
something like the following:
\\Server\GroupShare
Group_A_Directory
Group_B_Directory
Group_C_Directory
...
As child ZFS filesystem support is not available within CIFS, we will have to
convert each group directory into its own share if we want to be able to assign
quotas. This would like like the following:
\\Server\Group_A_Share
\\Server\Group_B_Share
\\Server\Group_C_Share
...
This is fine, but we need to then be able to restrict rights to the root
directory of each group share. If ACL's are not supported for the share is
there a different way for us to accomplish this task?
Thanks!
Richard
