Hi,
I am in the process of studying and would appreciate your help with the following questions. I was unable to find answers to them so I decided to ask the community.
1) What is a difference between dataset and directory from a admin/user perspective point of view? I know that dataset is a ZFS object with additional attributes as compression, block size and so on, but, say I need to share a directory with a set of subdirectories and each should have its own collection of ACL's. What should I choose? Basically the question is about what is better: ZFS dataset + children datasets or a set of directories when you have to give permissions to different users?
2) Can't understand inheritance flags in Advanced mode: they all can be set at once, right? Or there is some restricted mixture of flags?
Say I need a specific ACL setting for top directory but not for its children, should I specify 'No Propagate Inherit' for the top-level or I need to set File Inherit + Directory Inherit + No Propagate Inherit? Of course I tried different variants and they simply don't work.
3) Isn't that possible to use ActiveDiretory and NIS directory at the same time for permissions specification? I found out that only AD is working while two of them are ready and have a green sign
Thank you!
