ZFS SMBuP with Server.app

Post by BillyPrefect » Fri Feb 22, 2013 11:49 am

Hello. I want to mix the three of the above.
I love ZFS, my 6Tb pool is working fantastic.
I set all folders 755, and when I use mv or rsync for new files I ensure the new folders are 755 before I move them, everyone in the house has read only which is exactly how I want it.
SMBuP seems to work, guest access is set, all directories work the way I want them too at this point. I need to create a user that does have write access at some point, but for now I am content with the way things work.
What I also want to do is install the Server.app on my system. I am aiming for a home brew Wiki for the family plus I would really like to have TimeMachine working painlessly with the server app so I can mess up my MacBookPro without losing stuff.

Can they all work together for this? This would mean that I would enable file sharing in the machine running SMBuP along with ZFS. I may not have to share out the ZFS drives for Time Machine access and could let SMBuP take care of that part ... would that work??

just hoping for someone with a similar setup that could share insight.
Hackintosh - Mountain Lion WITHOUT/server.app
started at 500Gb X 3 RAIDZ pool (puddle) with lots of children
NOW -> 3 x 3Tb in RAIDZ for a wonderful 6Tb pool!
Also running SMBuP for easy samba shares.

We already proved, that TimeMachine destination works with no issues on ZFS as of 10.8.2. The is a separate topic, one or two steps are needed to perform in terminal, (change flag of share for timemachinedestination), of course you will need the liberation hack on the first place to have ZFS accessible via AFP.

Beside from this little harm with configuration, it's working satisfactory with other integration within Server.app or open directory setups with shared home folders and FileSync Agents etc.

There are some issues with NFS on ZFS under mac though. So build in nfsd is working on the first sight, but it's use is due to problems very close to "0" (unfortunately).
