Thanks for the replies, it seems like I may have to rewind a bit here and fix
some network issues on the solaris box before I can move forward with the OSX
connecting...
As I mentioned, ping between boxes works fine. I can ping my osx box, my router
(192.168.1.1) and my other NAS. But I last night I decided to have a try with
SMB since I wasn't getting far with NFS. That's when I discovered the Solaris
box can't connect to the internet (needed to download some smb packages, or are
they on disk somewhere?). Anyway I took the approach of doing a clean install,
since I've played around with so many things trying to get NFS working.
So after a clean install I noticed again that the dhcp had failed to assign
ipaddress to the interface. So I started patching again things that seem to be
missing, the hostname.rge0 file was missing, so I added an entry with my
hostname (zfsnas). I also had to tweak the hosts file and add 'dns' to
nsswitch.conf and create a file resolv.conf. So here is my current setup:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
rge0: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.122 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 0:1c:c0:8e:a:3d
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252
index 1
inet6 ::1/128
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/hostname.rge0

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/hosts

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/nodename

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/nwam/llp
rge0 static 192.168.1.122
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# netstat -rn
Routing Table: IPv4

127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 294 lo0
But even with all this, I can't connect outside of my LAN. Should I switch
from nwam to a manual configuration? or should nwam be able to handle this.
It seems strange already the the dhcp default setup fails. Anyway, I don't
need internet access from this box, I was just trying to workout how to
download and install SMB. But it did make me wonder if this might be related
to routing issues that might also affect the NFS stuff...
With regard to ZFS, I have a mirrored pool of two disks 'data' and I create a
fs as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# zfs create -o casesensitivity=mixed data/backup
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# zfs set sharenfs=on data/backup
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# zfs set atime=off data
Next I used system - administration - shared folders to add the /data/backup
directory for sharing with any computer in my LAN. This seemed to work
previously, but now I'm noticing that since my fresh install nothing gets
remembered. WHen I re-open the shares gui, the previous share is gone. Any
tips on this one too?
Sorry for so many questions, but I'm quite new to all this, but determined to
get things working now that I bought some specific hardware for the job. Would
it be worth trying with 2008-11 i noticed a 101a rc1b build that's now
available, or is it going to be too newbie unfriendly?
