Watching the default version of Samba switching from 4.6 to 4.7, due to 4.9 being around the corner and 4.6 being dropped upstream, I feel like reviving this old thread: > http://linux-unix-open-source.1053819.n5.nabble.com/Future-of-SAMBA-on-FreeBSD-td5932128.html I'm currently using several 4.6 installations, some NT DC, some AD DC, some DC members either in base or in jails on UFS or ZFS and these will need upgrading. Also, I'm probably deploying a new AD domain which will need a DC and a fileserver member (both in jails). So I'm wondering... Since I used this hack (1) when provisioning the AD DCs in a jails on ZFS, will I encounter problems when I upgrade them? > (1) http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/Help-provisioning-a-Samba-AD-in-a-jail-on-ZFS-td6218355.html When provisioning a new AD DC on ZFS, would the above hack still work if using Samba? Seems not with 4.7 according to (2)... What about 4.8? > (2) https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225676 Also, I'm tempted to skip 4.7 completely and move to 4.8 directly; not that I'd get any advantage that I know of, but that would buy me around six months more, before I have to go through this all again. Any showstopper? bye & Thanks av.
