Hi Gordon, Apologies, missed this the other day. My advice would be to make it easier to use IDMU. The modifications to AD to support IDMU are quite widely accepted these days, at least in organizations that have both Windows and *nix. The problem is that some of the organisations w

Yes, ephemeral IDs are temporary representations of Security Identifiers (SIDs). The idmapd(1m) daemon maintains these in a cache, with time-to-live (TTL) based expiration. There's a library API for turning an ephemeral ID back into a SID - see: idmap_get_sidbyuid http://src.illumos.org/

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Correct syntax for ZFS sharenfs 'no root squash' on OI 148

Sorry, I wanted to clarify regarding dedup. It's not just time machine that will suffer. It's everything, regardless of if the FS the relevant data is on is being deduped or not. When your dedup tables outgrow the amount of RAM allocated to them (25% of ARC IIRC), they start swapping. I had ~400G
