But that wasn't what I wanted to do. It's my understand that ZFS can export to both ZFS *and* CIFS/SMB, I'd like to know how to actually do (maybe utilize is the correct term instead of use) that. If it were as easy as just installing Samba from Ports or Packages, then I would have done so already, but I am trying to teach myself how ZFS can be useful in my environments and not limit myself or taking the long way around. But thank you regardless, if it turns out, I can't accomplish my goal (of utilizing NFS and/or CIFS/SMB from within ZFS) then I will go the tried and true and very traditional route of install Samba. --=20 > Chris Brennan > -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ | http://xkcd.com/549/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------020203000102080107060407-- --------------enig18F7445527CCFEB3A5D1B484 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEbBAEBAgAGBQJOUJreAAoJEO7NmoTVsgwMx38H90T4Q0CZG83NxJ9OJqO+0QDG XwCg5v4ULHRljmUDxwj9CKMgEXyIeY2dLH5heIDLgeRFEhK5TKI4xtLM3KRgqnea H18Lcskm/V64zpAIhgcYko9ZI+RvBD0PqyxOumNEoOY+aWRge3ziKbDdMsRhQKwn u7HCJP2lMiJz3roeJo62RK0azfdLQSu5fKhNvwqOO4Li1FbMlAH1sflvl28RpvMY v6INLN4YFSUiLxBCOZ5AA5dvnioX4b46CVwdoa/yruDkxmKH9FEC2y+j5K82Y5fR xkFKj/xBCF7f1vGWQM5LvQ1auyoJoUWHpRI3UNxTnIrY+ksfYtqBMiwiRzq/Zg== =L70C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig18F7445527CCFEB3A5D1B484--
