Proxmox 5.0 & ZFS Basic Share

[T_Minus]

Followed the guide here... to install NFS and SAMBA on ProxMox5.0 Beta / Debian stretch.

Setting up a File Server and Hypervisor using Proxmox and ZFS

Things to note about the guide:

• Minor command line syntax variance but nothing major
• I think they are using leading slashes when you shouldn't / don't need any -- at-least mine error-ed out until I changed that to no leading or trailing slash for the pool ie: mypool/media vs /mypool/media
  
• samba has been changed/aliased/whatevered to 'smbd' so when doing service samba restart change the word 'samba' to smbd

In under 5 minutes you can get your new ZFS pool created, download the extras needed, create the shares in ZFS and be on your way. I didn't have to manually mount anything, and I haven't tested NFS yet but SAMBA is working minus 1 issue outlined below.


The 1 issue I'm having is that even though I didn't configure restrictions/permissions in order to acess my share it's prompting for user/password. I've inputted my Proxmox/Linux main root user/pass and it didn't work, I created a new user/pass and tried that it didn't work. What is SAMBA share using for ACL?

That guide is a bit dated. If you install Proxmox on a zfs rpool, then ZFS does not need to be installed. If you do not, you just need to enable.

I should probably write something up along those lines. This one will work for SMB ZFS on Ubuntu: Create ZFS pool with NVMe L2ARC and share via SMB

Yep, it's dated but mostly works with minor tweaks should have noted I was cherry-picking commands out of there for SAMBA specifically.

Thanks @Patrick I have no problem installing on ZFS rpool, or creating my storage/etc pools and adding the samba via command-line worked fine and I can connect to it via Windows after doing the ZFS SMB share command...

My problem now is with the user/authentication not actually being allowed to ACCESS the share/files

I'll check out that link and see.

Yep, something simple forgot to assign the user perm to the share

Working now, maxes out my 1Gig network just fine
