I did end-up installing OpenIndiana ; and I mentioned a few of the issues I encountered while using it , in particular related to the use of samba and ldap authentication. As such, after days of trying things out, I went the easy way. I built another PC with enough disk space to make a mirror of my existing pool. I transferred all the data across (using zfs send/receive) took much longer than I expected it would). Next I will be formatting my existing file server pool and recreate it with a version that is more widely available. Probably 14 or so, as there are many OS supporting it. > Nexenta is a good choice, but again it's more of a distro aimed at file > servers and the userland software isn't going to be terribly up to date.
