[OmniOS-discuss] DFS Replication with CIFS shares

[Lawrence Giam]

Hi Jim,

Can you explain more on this? You share out the zVols via iSCSI to the
Windows machine, so on the windows machine, you attach that zVols as a disk?

But in my situation, I have alot of smb shares serve from the NAS and doing
it your way, would I be then face with drive letter limitation?

Regards.
