[OpenIndiana-discuss] Using OI and zfs from a windows machine

[Roel_D]

How did you join the zfs drive windows? And what windows version? 

Win7 has huge difficulties with networkshares. But there is a new but hidden servicepack for windows7 that improves the speed. 

You could try to install napp-it. It has a nice webbased gui that lets you configure shares easely. 

If you only have 1 pc that needs to connect, i would suggest iSCSI on ZFS. It will burn the wires of the network with the speed! 

Kind regards, 

The out-side
