Actually, the kernel in Nexenta is not truly identical, and generally
leads official OpenSolaris releases. (We're using a 134 kernel at
present, plus a bunch of individual fixes and some of our own
additions.)
So while you might think that if something doesn't work in OpenSolaris
it won't work in Nexenta, you might be surprised. (Then again, you
might not!) Trying certainly wouldn't hurt.
