Nexenta has a pretty good web interface on their SAN product, and when that isn't good enough, there is always their web console mode. But when even that isn't good enough, and you just have to see what is happening under the hood, there is something called expert mode.

Logging in as admin, provides some good commands when dealing with the various file shares. When I changed into root mode, I've always wondered why it was so lacking. By reading some one else's site, I now know why. Nexenta has disabled most of the root stuff, and you can only access it be going a secret route:


option expert_mode=1
!bash

When finished use exit and then run their resync command to make everything right.
