AS OP I'd like to summarize my use case... which may make some difference as to best choice for me. 1) small time operation... home lan 2) Only 2-3 users might access over smb at once. Mostly it will be only me. 3) Running several different OS's on lan, win8 win7 linux (debian) and openindiana. All may need access, but again usually one at a time. Maybe RichardE can give some guidance on this: When you speak of in-kernel (illumos) smb server... is that something different than other mentions in this thread of 'Solaris cifs server/? And (stemming from my confusion about what is 'oi' and what is 'illumos') is the in-kernel server to be found on oi build 151_a8. I wonder if ChristopherC would mind further elucidating what kind of scenarios smb/server might find itself short. And maybe PeterC could be more specific about the zfs integration. Which operations are integrated or the like... Or do you mean in so far as connections and handshakes in either direction are smooth and trouble free? ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
