Something changed, when I am not sure

So I have two FreeNAS systems; one is for accessing data and the other backsup the main

I installed (at the time) version 9.3 when it came out. I did not upgrade, I used the full installation. I went through the whole process of set up via the questions. I created the volumes and set the permissions.

Windows 7 machines access the main unit and at times I can access the backup.

Today I was doing an update and I just went poking around to check my settings and when i got to my volume to see the permissions something has changed. My backup FreeNAS says:
Owner (user) - root
Owner (group) - wheel (this changed on it's own because it was the name of my group name I had created)
Permission Type - Unix (this also changed on it's own because I use Windows systems it was set to Windows. I have screen shots)

So I am not sure how this changed on its own and I am not sure how I should fix this (or just leave as is). My understanding to fix this is I think I need to turn off CIFS, go to the volume and change the permissions and the user group back to what it was and then turn on CIFS. But not sure, I can still access all the files and folders on the backup.

And how can this happen too? I am looking at the logs and I don't really see anything in there. My main FreeNAS is still the original way it was setup with the user/group and permission for Windows. So at a loss here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Unless the things changed by the update were needed by your install (i.e. security) just revert back to the previous boot environment
and *go back* to what was working before...
