I am an old time Solaris admin and OpenSolaris throws me for curves as well. Real Solaris doesn’t default to the GNU tools so you don’t have to do the work arounds you mentioned. I am glad I ran across this article so I know about the potential problems. If you run into problems you can always do a “which” to determine what version of a command you are running.

Hehe. Well your post sure helped me figure out the basics and get what I needed done quickly. Thanks again for taking the time out to write it up.

I find the BigAdmin and Solaris docs on sun.com the most difficult to read, things seem to be changing a lot with the OpenSolaris documentation though, so let’s hope they keep it simple and easy to understand.

“yeah right!”, I say. LOL! But thanks for the great comment. I appreciate it.

I do hate it when in the docs they leave out that “one thing” that make it all sensible. It’s just the way they write it I guess. But it’s also just me, because who’s got time to read hundreds of pages thoroughly to get a good understanding of it all? That’s not how I learn, I just throw it on the network and figure out as I go. Probably like most of us doing this work.

Brilliant!

You should write the ZFS documentation.

Thanks!
