SmartOS SMB Setup


This How-To uses delegate dataset to make things easier to manage within the zone. From the ZFS Admin Guide concerning delegate datasets:

“The zone administrator can set file system properties, as well as create children. In addition, the zone administrator can take snapshots, create clones, and otherwise control the entire file system hierarchy.”

Downside is if the zone is deleted the dataset is also deleted.

Import base64 image (tested 15.3.0)
 imgadm avail |grep base-64 |grep 15.3.0

add entry to /etc/pam.conf for pam_smb_passwd

enable smb services:
svcadm enable smb/server
svcadm enable smb/client
svcadm enable rpc/bind
svcadm enable idmap

verify with svcs command
admin@nas2 ~]$ svcs |grep smb
online         18:36:54 svc:/network/smb/client:default
online         18:36:54 svc:/network/smb/server:default
online         18:36:55 svc:/network/shares/group:smb
[admin@nas2 ~]$ svcs |grep bind
online         18:36:53 svc:/network/rpc/bind:default
[admin@nas2 ~]$ svcs |grep idmap
online         18:36:54 svc:/system/idmap:default
create a mount point dataset
zfs create zones/6ecf3543-1c65-6600-ab32-e05de443026c/data/share1
set a quota for the dataset
    zfs set quota=100M zones/6ecf3543-1c65-6600-ab32-e05de443026c/data/share1
create a mountpoint
    sudo zfs set mountpoint=/share1 zones/6ecf3543-1c65-6600-ab32-e05de443026c/data/share1
change file ownership. In this case I used admin:staff
sudo chown admin:staff /share1
change admin’s password so SMB password will be updated
    passwd admin xxxx
share the filesystem
    sharemgr add-share -r testCifs -s /share1 smb ( -r is the displayed resource name, -s is the share location, smb is the file system export type. see man sharemgr)
test with Windows.
