Samba smbmount/smbfs
Speaking of Samba, one thing we don't have for Solaris is Samba client support via 'smbfs'. We're looking into that.
If you have input on this, including user scenarios to help us understand the customer needs and priority of this work, please post a comment. I'd love to hear from you.

Solaris 10 Data Management
Time for me to jump into the blog pool too.
I'm a Senior Software Engineering Manager in the Solaris Data organization, responsible for file system and file sharing technologies in Solaris. My areas of focus are NFS and Samba. I previously managed UFS through Solaris 10.
To get a taste of what we've done in Solaris 10, check out:

We delivered NFSv4, and made great strides in performance and availability in UFS.
We also co-deliver Samba with Solaris, supporting Samba on our companion CD. We stay current with what the Samba community is doing, and ensure Samba on Solaris is a viable solution for our customers requiring CIFS interoperability.
