Common NFS and CIFS share

[balanga]

This may be a dumb question, but since I don't know, I'll ask...

Is there any problem in setting up NFS and CIFS shares using the same location?

It isn't recommended that you do. NFS will use posix style permissions were as CIFS uses ACLs. CIFS has become so widely supported in some many OSs that it is generally recommend just using CIFS for everything. NFS can also be pretty slow.

The manual clearly says you shouldn't do this. :P

Not disputing the overall message, but didn't NFS recently get ACL support?

Not sure. Let's assume it did. Did that get into FreeNAS yet? ;)
