Openzfs yosemite5/11/2023 ![]() I don’t yet do plex or anything, but the ability to do such things is intriguing to me.I would need maybe 4TB storage to cover that. There’s a growing collection of computers in my house, so I’d like to have an easy method of backing those up by giving access to a NAS over wireless.Not sure if there are plugins that allow this? I'd like a really easy way of sucking the images from my camera off my SD card, onto the NAS, rename them and copy up to flickr.At some point I want to ‘upgrade’ to a new Atom based Mac Mini. Ideally here I need decent speed, and for the next 5 years I’m figuring I need approx 6TB storage to cover that use case. For storing my large photo (and a very small number of videos) collection as the primary disk storage, and having fault tolerance / bit rot protection for that.So if I want to run Windows, or Linux instead, I can just do that. I'd also like a flexible solution that doesn't care which operating system I run. I’d like to stop worrying, and get something that will just manage my data. With all of the above, I am getting fed up worrying about support between OpenZFS and Apple OSX. During the process of resilvering, the process stalled and both drives ended up erroring and now won’t mount. Last week one of my drives (two 1.5TB disks, mirrored in a single zpool) threw a bunch of errors.When I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan in 2017, I had some permissions issues.Issues I've had so far with OpenZFS on OSX: I have been mostly successful, but have suffered a couple of hiccups, which is making me think I should be considering a self contained NAS instead to avoid such problems again. This may change (hopely soon) with Illumos + SMB2 + all the other SMB improvements that were announced.Hello, I'm not a TrueNAS/FreeNAS user yet, but I having been running an OpenZFS zpool on my Mac for the last 6 years. If you have a license with support this is a hard to beat option now. A mixed configuration is also not possible as Oracle does not allow a zfs send to OpenZFS.īeside that, Solaris 11.3 is the current ZFS OS champion. And I simply do not like to spend the money to switch completely to Solaris. But I do not like the focus of Oracle to database or cloud use while storage is their strongness. I have no problem with Oracle as a company like many. Currently we stay at AFP or NFS for performance sensitive tasks. We own about a dozen of ZFS storage systems, used as a filer, as a backup system and many all-in-one.Īs Apple switched to SMB as the default protocol with a lousy performance on SMB1 whe are waiting for SMB2 support in OmniOS. In my main job, I am responsible for the IT of a small university with more Macs than PCs. Not as Windows compatible but more compatible to NFS as SAMBA use UID and GID only You will find nothing than problems as they behave different especially regarding permission inheritance. If you need to combine this with access based on Unix permissions, Solaris CIFS uses Windows alike NFS4 ACL only. Where you can add user mappings if you need to keep local users in sync with AD users.ĬIFS use local Unix users so NFS and SMB can be in sync then. This is mainly important with Active Directory Solaris CIFS can use real Windows SIDs as extended ZFS attribute. If you want to keep SMB groups and Unix groups in sync, you must add mappings. Solaris adds a Windows compatible group management as Unix groups behave different than groups on Windows. Unix groups are not used by the CIFS server This is only a setting during user creation The problem is not the question about user groups (gid). Use SMB shares when you need authentification and authorisation Use NFS3 shares when you can allow anonymous access as any restriction is only based on good willĪs you simply need to set an ip and uid to get access to NFS3 shares
