I'm using Mac OS X Mavericks and due to strange SMB issues (bottom line: it's not working). I've installed SMBUp and am using Samba to share directories.

1. My shares can be seen on the network and on other devices.
2. Folders from my internal HD that I share can be accessed, read and written to.
3. Trying to open the shared Directory on my zpool results in a "Permission Denied".

Now...I installed ZfSMac quite a while ago, "zfs upgrade" is telling me that it's filesystem version 2. I'm kinda paraoid about upgrading ZfS and then breaking my zpool. Can that actually happen? Don't wanna loose 6TB of data :p

Other than an outdated version, does anyone have ideas what I could try and do to make this work? As I think it's a MacZfS related problem. Thanks in advance.

Can you give some more details about your system configuration? Especially:

zpool status -v zpool get all _to_be_shared_pool_ zfs get all _to_be_shared_pool_

Also which version of MacZFS are you using?

Re zfs upgrade: It is supposed to be a safe operation, but I highly doubt it would help in your situation. Bottom line: For now I would advise against it.

Hey! Thanks for your quick reply.

1. How do I check my ZFS version? I didn't find anything straight forward in the command list like "zfs version" :/

Here are the things you requested:

zpool status -v pool: DeltaRaidPi state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config:

NAME         STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
DeltaRaidPi  ONLINE       0     0     0
  raidz1     ONLINE       0     0     0
    disk3s2  ONLINE       0     0     0
    disk5s2  ONLINE       0     0     0
    disk4s2  ONLINE       0     0     0

Determining the version is (was) indeed not straight forward. Here are some things to try:

check the output of "kextstat", look for "zfs". E.g. on terminal do "kextstat | grep -e zfs"

above line works only when ZFS is active.

Another option is to look into the kext's plist file: Open terminal, then do "less /System/Library/Extensions/zfs.kext/Contents/Info.plist" and look for the key "CFBundleShortVersionString". This is actually the most valuable one, since it contains the build id which allows to pinpoint the exact source code revision used to build the module.

Different question: How do you try to share the pool? What is SMBup and are you using the Samba version that comes with MacOSX (Does Maverick still include Samba? I don't know.) or a 3rd party install?

So the version:

kextstat | grep -e zfs 131 0 0xffffff7f82223000 0x69000 0x69000 com.bandlem.mac.zfs.fs (74.2.0) <7 5 4 1>

And Samba. I think Mavericks still has Samba but there are issues with it. Not sure if everybody has them but my goal is to share my Zfs zpool so that I can access it on my TV via XBMC. With the standard os x file sharing protocoll I could sometimes see the zpool, sometimes not and even files that were stored on my internal harddrive wouldn't open and time out after a few minutes.

I read online that this was a common bug for people with Mavericks and downloaded SMBUp (http://eduo.info/apps/smbup) to replace the OS X SMB service.

The funny thing is that it already worked the way I wanted until I accidentally deleted the SMB config file :s With SMBup I can see my computer on the network, I can even see the folder on the computer but I get an Access Denied when I try to actually open the folder. And this doesn't happen with folders that are shared on my local harddrive.

Hope this is enough information to help me? :/

Anyone?
