Unlike Oracle Solaris with native ZFS, OmniOS stable is compatible with Open-ZFS but with its own dedicated software repositories per stable/lts release. This means that a simple 'pkg update' gives the newest state of the installed OmniOS release and not a...

How much RAM do I need for napp-it cs
RAM for a ZFS filer has no relation to pool or storage size (beside dedup)!
Calculate 2 GB for a 64bit OS, add 1-2 GB for a Solaris based filer and 3-4 GB for a BSD/Linux/OSX/Windows based filer for minimal read/write caching or ZFS can be really slow. RAM...
The flavours of ZFS
native ZFS in Solaris 11.
This is the Unix where ZFS was developped for. The most resource efficient and stable ZFS and propably the fastest one. In 20 years I have not seen as many bug reports up to dataloss than on Linux in a few weeks. Native ZFS is not free nor...
napp-it cs beta, current state (apr.05)
Server groups with remote web-management: (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Windows): ok
ZFS (pool,filesystem,snap management): ok on all platforms
Jobs (snap, scrub, replication from any source to any destination): ok beside Windows as source or destination...
Another day, another step:
Replication between servers is basically working with problems on some combinations.

You can`t just give away a file on an USB stick to anyone like you can with *Fat* but that is not the point and for such I use a cloud link now.
All of my systems have ZFS so I can just plug an external USB disk (can be 20TB) ex to my Mac, Linux/ Unix or Windows systems and import the pool to...
TrueNAS as a servergroup member
- Enable SSH, allow root (sharing options) or SMB
- Copy napp-it cs_server to a filesystem dataset ex tank/data (/mnt/tank/data)
- open a root shell and enter:
perl /mnt/tank/data/cs_server/start_server_as_admin.pl
Add Truenas to your servergroup (ZFS...

There are use cases where you still need a *Fat* variant and a data loss or undetected bad file is not relevant.
There are use cases where data security is the main concern like a secure data move via stick or backup via checksum protected zfs send to a removeable ZFS pool with copies=2 on USB...
ok, but then say
- no to checksums (no report on bad files)
- no to Copy on Write (undamaged filesystems after a crash/remove during write)
- no to transparent compress
- no to transparent encryption
- no to autorepair files on bad blocks with ZFS and copies=2
A napp-it replication uses dedicated snaps (*_repli.._nr_n) and protects them from autosnap so normally you should have a common base snap. If not you cannot sync them again. Rsync can sync files but not make filesystems exact identical.
Usually, you rename the target filesystem in such a case...
