I'm trying to setup SABNzbd with my OpenIndiana ZFS server... I've created some datapools that I am able to read in OpenIndiana however I am not familiar with Solaris/Linux to determine the network drives absolute path for SAB

Any help would be appreciated... Thanks.
 
I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but......

By default, you access a zfs pool (or rather the "root" zfs within that pool) by it's creation name in the system's root directory.

So, if you create a zfs pool called MEDIA
eg

# zpool create MEDIA raidz c4t0d0 c4t1d0 c4t2d0 c4t3d0 c4t4d0

then by default you'd access it at /MEDIA (the leading / is important)
You can change this if you want though.


The "zfs list" command will tell you the mount points for your zfs filesystems.
 
Billy,

Yes this is what I'm looking for. Originally, I was inputting the correct name that the "ZFS List" showed me - which in my case is; /Datashare/Media

However, when I'm trying to save the setting in sab to save to the zfs directly, it tells me "Incorrect parameter

Cannot create download_dir folder /DataShare"
 
Remember that paths in UNIX are case sensitive, so "/Datashare" is not the same as "/DataShare". you could be looking at a permission issue (the user performing the action does not have permission on either '/Datashare', or on '/') or you may just need to edit a configuration file to change from '/DataShare' to '/Datashare'
