Hello! Hopefully, there are still people around these parts who can help out. I am an admin in the Comp Sci dept at a medium-sized university, and we have just recently started a storage infrastructure upgrade. We have been using a NetApp for the last few years, and we have finally had enough of it tanking all time along with NetApp's thoroughly asinine stance where they "do not support CIFS from Linux". Since we have a fairly even split of our desktops (50% Windows, 50% Linux), we need to support CIFS (from Windows and Linux) and NFS from Linux. We purchased a Dell EqualLogic, and are now in the position of having to build a head for it. Since this needs to be an extensible setup, we came to the conclusion of needing/wanting to use ZFS. That way, should we need more space to use via another EqualLogic, we can just add it to our zpool and be on our merry way. The other caveat is that snapshots under Linux with the EqualLogic are a no-go, so ZFS ftw again in that respect. The trouble we are having is we dont know how to go about setting up a heterogenous home space server with snapshots where clients access their data from both CIFS/NFS seamlessly and are auth'd against Active Directory on the Windows side, and LDAP on the Linux side. Nexenta would be a possible solution for us, but their pricing model is just ridiculous, so we are currently looking at something which is home-brewed on OpenIndiana. If someone could point us to some how-to's for this type of setup, we'd be very appreciative. TIA!
