Well, never mind I guess. 1 and 2 are immediate now (didn't test 3). Not sure what changed... Something on the Mac side I guess.

I've been running new OmniOS r151018 with kernel SMB2 since a day or two after it appeared. So far I'm pretty impressed. I'd still like Spotlight and finally did find that OpenCSW has a Netatalk package that installs Tracker too and is pre-configured for Spotlight. I'm testing it in a virtual...

I tried that. Didn't work for me because if a file doesn't have ACLs, my Mac would invent them, and they were screwy. If the file already has legitimate ACLs the Mac respects them and all is good. What kinds of problems are you having? Once I got mine worked out, they work great.

Sorry to keep going with this if nobody else is interested. I found that you can run ls -@ to confirm the presence of extended attributes in a file. If the file has them, instead of a + at the end of the permissions to indicate an ACL, it will print an @ only if extended attributes are present...

Well, it sure LOOKS like it's saving them over SMB to ZFS. If anyone cares to know for sure, I'm happy to test further, but until someone suggests how to test or pokes a hole in what I've done, I'll have to conclude that it's working.

I looked via a Windows VM. There are no ._ files visible. And are you saying that somehow, logged onto the OmniOS machine and doing an ls -a would not show the files? What there is, is a .DS_Store file created by Finder when it visits any folder. Via the Windows VM, I deleted that, on the...

So I played around with this further. I think the data the Finder is showing about the pics is NOT actually extended attributes since running xattr -l file.jpg returns no info. But still something odd is happening. Maybe it's just standard Finder behavior. Consider this sequence of events: 1...

Another question. What about Spotlight support for netatalk on Illumos-based OSs like OmniOS? I know this requires Gnome Tracker being installed and netatalk being compiled with support for it. This seems possible on FreeBSD although my half-hearted efforts at making it work weren't fruitful...

What about Mac extended attributes on files? At first glance it appears they're not coming through. I say this because an example JPEG which, when stored locally on the Mac, shows lots of info in Finder Get Info, such as camera model, dimensions, etc, but when copied to the server (OmniOS/kernel...

Wow, that's a great write-up and similar in a lot of ways to my setup since I'm also running 10GbE with an X540, although my Mac is a self-upgraded 2010 with an internal ATTO NT12 so that's different. I haven't run any benchmarks yet. Regarding jumbo frames: If I'm reading correctly, it's...

That's working, thanks. Only odd thing is that once today my Mac told me when I clicked on the server name in the sidebar that the object was no longer valid or something. I relaunched Finder and all was well. Not sure what happened. Anyway, after experimenting all week with a VM, I installed...

Ah, didn't know that about the &. Based on that, I assume it should be fine to put both commands in one shell script, right? For my first attempt, which works, I put each command in its own script and have those linked into rc3.d per the Oracle article Run Control Scripts (System Administration...

I think I'm missing something. I didn't think those commands stayed running, I thought they were just to configure the already-running mDNSResponder. That's not correct?

That's really awesome. Next time I redo our work setup that's how I'll go.

I have some limited experience with Storage Spaces and ReFS. First, if you're using their equivalent of RAIDZ/2, which they call "parity spaces" I think, the performance is awful. This is well-known. Their equivalent of a mirror is fine. Also, dealing with Storage Spaces is very convoluted...
