Thanks for the suggestion, Moritz. I have updated the page to include the casesensitivity option, as well.
Let me know if you have other suggestions! Patrick, I have prepared a task to add to the getting started page that describes how to install the Solaris CIFS service packages. Is this what you had in mind for installation? How to Install the Solaris CIFS Service Software You can obtain the software packages for the Solaris CIFS service from the OpenSolaris Download Center. The Solaris CIFS service packages are available beginning with the Solaris Express Developer Edition 1/08 (SXDE 1/08) and Solaris Express Community Edition build 79 (SXCE b79) releases. The Solaris CIFS packages are SUNWsmbskr, SUNWsmbsr, and SUNWsmbsu. 1. Download at least the SXDE 1/08 DVD or SXCE b79 image from the OpenSolaris Download Center. Go to the following URL: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads Note - You must be registered at www.sun.com to access the images. 2. Determine the device to be used for mounting the image file. # lofiadm -a sol-nv-b<n>-<arch>-dvd.iso Where n is the build number and arch is the architecture of the packages. For example: # lofiadm -a sol-nv-b84-sparc-dvd.iso /dev/lofi/1 3. Mount the downloaded HSFS image on your system. # mount -F hsfs <device> <mount-point> <device> is the device name of the image and <mount-point> is the directory on which to mount the image. For example: # mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt 4. Install the Solaris CIFS service packages. # pkgadd -d <mount-point>/Solaris_11/Product SUNWsmbskr SUNWsmbsr SUNWsmbsu Note - Install the packages in the order shown to satisfy package dependencies. To uninstall the Solaris CIFS service with the pkgrm command, reverse the order of the packages shown on the pkgadd command line to satisfy package dependencies. Let me know. Thanks! Cathleen.
