[OmniOS-discuss] Bloody update for December 11th

[Günther Alka]

Many Thanks to Nexenta
and to OmniTi for this december bloody with SMB 2

I have just done some tests on OSX under Solaris 11.3 to check some 
configuration
options for a ZFS video editing storage server for my Mac Pros.

There are two must have principles: SMB2 and Jumboframes

> The "package variant" support (thanks to Jeff Sipek for the inspiration) allows a user of OmniOS to create a distinct boot environment with same-time-compiled bits, but with DEBUG enabled.  To create such a BE, you start by upgrading to these bits, and then you can use the "pkg change-variant" command.  The change-variant subcommand works a lot like install.  Here's an example:
