can anyone suggest instruction or a tutorial about setting up window to share files on the OmniOS server

from an OmniOS server no my home network

you want to set up an CIFS share on OmniOS so that windows can see it & mount it, yes?

yes

GrayGhost: this is a reasonable place to start iirc: docs.oracle.com/cd/E19120-01/open.s…atestaticsmbsharezfstask/index.html

I also found this page which might be a bit more detail as well: tumfatig.net/2023/smb-shares-using-omnios-zones-and-zfs

I wouldn't say that either page is a step-by-step tutorial necessarily, but should give you enough example commands to create the share you need and test/experiment

I think I will use a USB stick to share files to windows 11

NFS works just fine with linux :)

I have been reading and watching videos for three days and still not working with windows

well -- can you be more specific about what isn't working? can you see the share at all? (i.e. if you go start \\<ip address of the server>\ in windows, do you see the server? do you see the share you created?)

No results from server \\192.168.1.220\

but I can ssh to it

when I try to set up a mount ... it will not accept my user name and password

you might need to idmap on the solaris machine: docs.oracle.com/cd/E86824_01/html/E54764/idmap-1m.html

you also might need to look at smbadm: docs.oracle.com/cd/E86824_01/html/E54764/smbadm-1m.html

i think i just gave up on windows username & password mapping and (since its just my local lan) just use guest access

and then I think I use a solaris username & password if I want read/write access

a USB stick seems very attractive to me :)

I realy don

i hear that :)

don't need it very offen and I dont know windows very well

it seems the latest update to windows 11 removed NFS from it

At least I can not find where to enable nfs

I know they left, but I'm not sure windows has ever had an nfs client.

zfs sharesmb seemed to work fairly well when I tried it and I found a few omnios/illumos based guides when i looked previously

file permissions/umask/acl possibly the bit I had most issues around

Yep, windows have official NFS client, you can install it as an optional package. AFAIK you need windows pro.

GrayGhost - See my notes at paste.omnios.org/?c1e96efe880c39b3#…3ueUZicX8XEzf3dnnGWHV2cfeTZTMp2x6AX

Make sure the dataset is mixed case sensitivity, has nbmand set and that you've changed the user's passwords (even back to the same is fine) after changing /etc/pam.conf

i'm trying to create a bhyve zone with two [[net]] blocks for the same vnic, one for ipv4 and one for ipv6. zadm accepts it, but when i try to boot the zone it just halts, dmesg says init exited with status 4 and zadm log gives me "ioctl viona create failed 16" and "Device emulation initialization error: Device busy". if i remove the v6 [[net]] block it boots fine. is this not supported?
