Is it Solaris or OpenSolaris? If it's OpenSolaris, It does support FUSE, and you can probably abstract the SMB stuff through fuse. If not, then the proposed NFS solution is probably your only option.

Solaris supported File Systems:

Hi All,

Maybe a bit [OT], but I've got a Solaris 10u8 host, and I'd like to be able to mount a Windows share on the Solaris box.
I don't think Solaris supports the smbfs or cifs file systems (at least I can't find any evidence of it). So a command like:
"mount -F smbfs //windows-host/share /mnt"  won't work.

Has anyone done this? I've installed all the samba executables in /usr/bin and in /usr/sbin on the Solaris box, so there is samba support in Solaris,
but I can't seem to mount the Windows share.

TIA,
-Chuck
