Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] To the OmniOS, OI and SmartOS community

hello Till My napp-it storage appliance add-on is currently running and supported on OmniOS, OpenIndiana Hipster, Solaris and partly ZoL. I would be very glad to add SmartOS but this would require a mechanism to install storage services to global zone, load settings like users or (SMB)
