SMB Share Properties

Use the zfs set and share commands to set share properties that modify the attributes and behavior of an SMB share.

For more information about setting share properties for ZFS file system, see Sharing and Unsharing ZFS File Systems in Managing ZFS File Systems in Oracle Solaris 11.2 . For information about the available options for the zfs set command, see the zfs_share (1M) man page.

There are two types of share properties: global and protocol-specific.

    The global share properties include the following:

  • desc Specifies an optional description of the share

  • path Specifies the mount point of the share

    The protocol-specific share properties for the SMB protocol include the following:

  • abe Enables or disables access-based enumeration for a share

  • ad-container Specifies the name of an AD container in which to publish a share

  • catia Specifies whether to perform CATIA character substitution

  • dfsroot Enables or disables DFS root support on a share

  • csc Sets the client-side caching policy

  • guestok Enables or disables guest access to a share

  • ro, rw, none Sets host-based access rules for a share

The SMB server provides a per-share configuration property to support client-side caching for offline files. Although the SMB server enables you to configure this feature, only the client manages client-side caching and access to offline files. You can use the zfs command to configure this feature by setting the csc property for a share.

    Valid values for the csc property are:

  • manual Permits clients to cache files from the specified share for offline use as requested by users. However, automatic file-by-file reintegration is not permitted. manual is the default value.

  • auto Permits clients to automatically cache files from the specified share for offline use, and permits file-by-file reintegration.

  • vdo Permits clients to automatically cache files from the specified share for offline use, permits file-by-file reintegration, and permits clients to work from their local cache even while offline.

  • disabled Disables client-side caching for the specified share.
