Matt, I'm interested in quizzing you further on this so will ask the
main question here. But, if you don't mind I'd like to talk to you
off list at more length. Maybe a few pointer getting Opensolaris
setup with the ZFS or the like.
Are you backing up any windows boxes onto the ZFS? Is it just a matter
of making it available by way of samba/cifs?
Your list email address looks like it might be a phony (I didn't try
it) but mine isn't so if you don't mind the personal contact please
let me know and I'll write direct.
