The hardware support is thin, so it makes sense to run it in a VM. I run mine inside VMWare ESXi, which has excellent hardware support. I give all the storage to the OpenSolaris VM, which in turn re-exports iSCSI volumes that are used by the other VMs. Solaris's iSCSI daemon is rock-solid, as is their CIFS server. It's miles ahead of the network storage daemons available for Linux. And of course it's all backed by ZFS.
- e12e 7y agoThey have a separate cifs daemon vis à vis samba? Does it run on Linux? :)
- retrovm 7y agoIt does not run on Linux, because parts of it are implemented in the opensolaris kernel. It is dramatically better than Samba.
