Hello- I'm currently using FreeBSD w/gmirror as a Samba file server for an office with 5-6 users. For ease of administration (and because they need access to each other's data frequently), I have SUIDDIR enabled on the server and have the main shared directory set to "chmod 4770". I have utilities that I run on the server for backup (tarsnap) and virus scanning (clamd/clamdfront) which has so far been working really well. Originally I was planning to setup the data storage on this box to do a mirror of stripes with 4x 500GB drives, but due to some flux (mainly trying to figure out why UFS snapshotting was so slow -- I caught up!) I ended up with a 4 drive mirror and 500GB of space. At any rate, I've been considering switching this to a ZFS RAIDZ now that FreeBSD 8 is released and it seems that folks think it's stable, but I'm curious if it can provide the SUIDDIR functionality I'm currently using. If not, I suppose I could come up with a different solution (suggestions welcome) -- maybe a different Samba configuration, but it took me a while to get where I am with this box now and if I can keep it mostly the same and get the snapshotting abilities of ZFS I'd be really pleased. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ben
