Anyway, there are lots of HOW TO docs on the net on how you get it working with a file server or NAS or whatever. I have an OpenSolaris box with netatalk running (2.x -- the one that supports Lion+ logins) and flipped a few bits and it works. The OpenSolaris (really OpenIndiana) is using ZFS as the underlying FS with 2 disks in mirror mode. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
