So if you were to enable the sharesmb property on a zfs filesystem in sol10, you just get an error or something? I don't want to test it on my live system, nor do I want to go to the effort of building a VM just to test this... Nor would I use it, even if it did work. ;-) But I'm curious. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
