[rescue] ZFS puzzle migrating from Solaris 10 to 11

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Phil,

disclaimer - I don't have any smb experience here, this comment is solely from 
reading.

My understanding was that Samba was not necessary with Solaris 11.

I had though that smb file support was built into the kernel, just like NFS.

Just wondering if Samba provides something that the native OS (Sol 11) doesn't?
