Comment on The basics of ZFS ACLs by Raúl Valencia

Thanks dude. Your example helped me a lot on SunOS 5.11 (OpenIndiana). A note: on that version, the command “zfs set aclmode=passthrough /” is no longer necessary.

Good post. I refined the scripts a little. You dont need to chmod 774 when you use owner@ group@ everybody@ with the A= command.
Check out my guide for Solaris 11 at hayeswhitt.com,
look under “Permissions and ACL”.

Comment on Using ferm to build firewall rulesets by Tristan Seligmann

Declarative is always better than imperative anyway :)

It is quite declarative, but after using some other options (Firehol, Shorewall etc) I much prefer the terse nature of this format over those. Of course, PF still has the best format and configuration IMHO.

On the Linux note, well spotted. As soon as I finish up my BSD puppet modules and I no longer need to “make install” stuff, then I’ll roll out some more BSD nodes ;-)

Mmm, this looks very declarative. Firewall rulesets are pretty declarative too. I think this might be more fun if it were imperative. :)

On a side note, is that a linux system I see? *while holding up a large BSD book*

Comment on Using a ZFS filesystem with Time Machine by Greg

Hi Stuart,

No particular reason, I just find CIFS support to be quite good in OpenSolaris – it also natively ties into their ACLs. Also, I have a number of other shares around for a few windows machines on the network.

I haven’t tested NFS at all. OpenSolaris has pretty decent NFSv4 support, but I am not sure about the state of FreeBSDs NFS support. The last time I really used FreeBSD was around 6.x, before ZFS had even been ported across.

Your NFS setup sounds like it’s working fine though, so I’d say go for it and follow steps 1,3-5 above (/Volumes/userbackups would obviously be your NFS mounted volume instead).

I’d really appreciate it if you drop a comment here letting me know how it went!

Hi,

This is great. One question though, is there any reason to use cifs rather than nfs? I have nfs working sharing files between macs and freebsd zfs pool.

Comment on New addition to the family by Greg

I’m no Apple hardware expert, but it looks like a really nice buy and has pretty decent specs. Digicape are advertising it at R19999 for the 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Considering I paid just over R5k more for the MacBook Pro with a slightly slower processor, half the disk space and same amount of memory it seems like a great purchase. Of course you can’t just sling it in a bag and take it off to work with you :P

Nice setup. I have been checking out the 27″ iMac i7. Having done some research on this stuff do you think it is worth the hefty price tag?

Comment on Keyboard shortcuts in Google Wave by froztbyte

The one problem I can see with some of these are the ctrl+ combos, since they’re the same keys as used to jump to tab # in Firefox on Windows. Just as a gotcha for whoever might find that problem one day, and if they don’t use Linux/OSX
