Good to know it can work just as I hoped it would. You say `mostly Mac' so I guess some windows clients are involved as well. And no problems with them either? Just to be sure of something here. Are either or both of you sharing these files in the sense of storing them on zfs and moving to whatever OS for usage or do you mean that files are used in place... that is, the zfs fs is not just storing files but the files are being used by other OSs in place?

[zfs-discuss] vidoe files residing on zfs used from cifs fail to work
I find that at least some kinds of video files when accessed on zfs server from windows machines will not work. In particular that seems to hold for quicktime files. When *.mov file reside on a windows host, and assuming your browser has the right plugins, you can open them with either quicktime player or firefox (which also uses the quicktime player). But I find if the files are on a zfs server the same files fail to play. Is it a local phenomena or a common problem/ I've also had similar problems with *.avi contained files (not sure of compressor). I haven't heard loud laments about this so hoping it might be something on my end since it would really be a shame if I cannot do my video work on a zfs share and so take advantage of snapshots while work is underway. Something like a versioning system can be gotten out of the snapshots if need be. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
