    Share with samba a ZFS FS in a zone

      Hi all,

       

      Here is my configuration :

       

      root@sfhvsun10p:~# zoneadm list -iv

        ID NAME             STATUS     PATH                           BRAND    IP

         0 global           running    /                              solaris  shared

         1 sfhvrep10        running    /zones/sfhvrep10               solaris  excl

       

      I want to share /toolbox with samba on my zone.

       

      In my zone, I have the following output :

       

      root@sfhvrep10:~# zfs set share=name=toolbox,path=/toolbox,prot=smb sfhvrep10_data/toolbox

      error validating share: SMB: not supported in non-global zone

       

      In sfhvsun10p, which managed sfhvrep10, I have the following output :

       

      root@sfhvsun10p:~# zfs set share=name=toolbox,path=/zones/sfhvrep10/root/toolbox,prot=smb sfhvrep10_data/toolbox

      permission denied: shares managed from non-global zone.

       

      So how can I share my fs ?

      Thanks.

            I was reading this page, but I don't understand why it doesn't work.

             

            Here is the configuration of my dataset :

            my ZFS file system's mountpoint property is NOT set to legacy.

            So I should use the new ZFS syntax.

              And what is the zone configuration ?

                Here is the configuration :

                 

                root@sfhvsun10p:~# zonecfg -z sfhvrep10 export

                  A RFE exists for this : 15529309

                  Currently we can only export NFS shares in a non-global zone. Maybe is it possible with a kernel zone available with the next version of Solaris 11 labeled 11.2.

                  But currently, if you want to export it with the SMB/CIFS protocol, then you can either use Samba or you can try to export it directly from the global zone.

                    Hi Pechane/Pascal,

                     

                    We have recently clarified the file sharing and over-the-wire protocols that are available and not available in a NGZ. See below.

                     

                    Pascal, you are correct that you can share files over SMB in a kernel zone in S11.2. I just tried it.

                     

                    The Solaris 11.2 beta release is available here:

                     

                    Oracle Solaris 11.2 Beta - Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle

                     

                    Be sure to check the system requirements first.

                     

                    Thanks, Cindy

                     

                    Non-global zones support the following file sharing services:

                    NFS client
                    NFS server
                    SMB client

                     

                    Non-global zones do not support the following file sharing or over-the-wire
                    protocol services:
                    FC services
                    FCoE services

                     

                     

                    iSCSI initiator
                    iSCSI target
