Hello,
I've been trying to make symlinks made on my NAS visible and transversable via CIFS. I have so far been unsuccessful.
My understanding is that this is possible by ensuring that the following parameters are selected:
This does not seem to work in my situation.
Example:
Dataset media (/mnt/bluemesa/media) is shared as CIFS share 'media'. User Bryce is the owner of the share, and also the local login for the PC client.
Directories "foo" and "test" are created by a CIFS client at the root of media with user "Everyone" with full control (granted via Windows permission dialog). File foo.txt is created at /media/foo with similar permissions.
Logged into the freenas, the following commands are executed, creating a simlink.
As I understand things, this should make the file visible in Windows via CIFS in the test folder. It is not.
All googling and other reading I've done says this should work.
I've restarted CIFS, restarted the client PC, tried putting the "follow symlinks = yes" as a global parameter, and probably several other things I'm forgetting.
Any help would be much appreciated.

My understanding is that this is possible by ensuring that the following parameters are selected:
- In CIFS service options, uncheck "Unix Extensions".
- In the share, add the following aux parameters:

follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes
