The casesensitivity ZFS dataset property, and everything else that's associated with the Solaris SMB server, will NOT be backported to S10. That doesn't mean you have to migrate your data though; see below. > > I would like to set casesensitivity to mixed, but I can't see any way to do > > it without creating new filesystems and copying the data.

You don't have to copy any data, just install OpenSolaris, upgrade your pools and set casesensitivity to your liking. Do note that some properties, like utf8only and normalization cannot be changed after a dataset is created. > Why can't you just upgrade zfs and change the pool setting? Why would you > need to copy the data? Right, but keep in mind that Jay will have to move to OpenSolaris to get the casesensitivity property.
