G’morning! After testing some more and some eMail discussion with Constantin Gonzalez, it seems that the issue occurs thanks to Apple’s SMB implementation. So there are just two or three options to solve it – 2 are very uncomfortable.

Before someone asks – I’m a big fan of Bon Jovi and I’ve ALL albums original.

• SFTP or FTP (works – I’ve tested it) – uncomfortable but ok for basic restoring to the zpool
• rsync via network (not to the SMB mount!) – ok for backing up, but not for live working with the data on the server
• Netatalk – not sure where and if it exist for OpenSolaris, but maybe the best option

So currently, if I can’t get Netatalk to work on OpenSolaris, as much as I want to use it, I’ll have to remove it It makes no sense to access all stuff ONLY via SFTP. SMB fails here.

I’ll keep you updated on this!

Ciao
