doc.freenas appears to be down

I need help. But I'm sure if I ask a question, I'll just be told to RTFM. So I'd like to do that. But I cant. Because it's down.

yea, i noticed that too.. is there anything we can help you with?

Not really. I think it's silly that the web gui doesn't allow you to set a static IP. That aside, I'm trying to figure out how expose the same data over CIFS and NFS, read/write via CIFS, read only via NFS. I'm pretty sure this is doable and documented, and I'd rather not bother anyone about it. But my time is limited.

It sure does let you set a static IP address. Check out the network part of the WebGUI. You can set a static IP for all of your NICs. You can also setup the WebGUI to only function on one particular NIC(the dropdown gives you the IPs).

It is doable, but rather difficult. CIFS works best with Windows ACLs and NFS works best with Unix permissions. It would require what I would call some "creative designs" to make it work, but you can most certainly make it work.

To share the same dataset to each protocol, just create a zfs dataset, then go to sharing and add a cifs share, browse to the dataset and then add a nfs share and browse to the same dataset.

but docs are back up

Docs are up. Got iX on the horn and fixed it. ;)

Edit: I'm too slow.
