A few weeks ago my ZFS raid containing 12 1.5tb Western Digital green drives was degraded due to a drive failure. As I have a hot spare added to the raid as well, the raid was quickly rebuilt and has been working fine through the problems and afte…

Oracle’s incompetent patch-handling
My last post was about how Oracle decided to move smb.conf and the private-dir for samba without moving the files for you, or even informing you that this might be a good idea… Read more here: http://posterous.mortencb.cx/samba-not-working-after…
Samba not working after Solaris-patching
If you use the built-in Samba in Solaris 10, you might have discovered that after patching Solaris lately, Samba is not working any more. Well this is an easy fix, but I can’t understand why Oracle hasn’t fixed it yet: 1) cp /etc/sfw/private/* /et…

Mounting ext2/3, FAT16/FAT32 and NTFS in Solaris 10
You might be using Solaris like me, and you might have some disk containing ext3 partitions on it that you want to mount. This can not be done out of the box on Solaris, since it doesn’t support ext2/3 and ntfs. But do not give up, the solution is…
