I don't know about all the Windows stuff, but you should be able to get most of this using Samba (but don't quote me on that). > I've read some ZFS articles on Internet like: > http://www.anandtech.com/show/3963/zfs-building-testing-and-benchmarking/ > and on this mailing list, people are using ZFS and there are more > advantages in ZFS than Netware in storage competence.

Does it slow down ZFS performance? Nothing to worry about, ZFS excels at both file and block storage. Illumos has pretty much the most advanced and feature-full NFSv4 implementation on the market and also natively supports SMB file sharing. You can install Samba and get full AD integration, if necessary. > And one more point, I'd plan to use OI + napp-it for file sharing, is > there any solution to recover one(s) file(s) that was accidentally > deleted by user but I don't have to roll back the whole storage? I don't know about napp-it specifically, but you can easily recover lost files by simply cloning a previous snapshot into a full filesystem, mounting that and copying out the files you've lost. You can then destroy the clone when you don't need it anymore (the original snapshot remains unaffected). > Excuse me if my questions are dump, and I highly appreciate your helps. Hey, that's what community mailing lists are for (and your questions most certainly aren't dumb, don't worry).
