Hi there,
So, in my server, I currently have datasets setup for access from a CIFS share with unix permissions so I can have my jails access these datasets. Problem is, I've heard of potential problems or instabilities of using CIFS with unix permissions and how thats not recommended.
I've heard that FreeNAS supports Samba 3 which does work with CIFS shares. however, Samba 4 does not support Unix permissions, :( (correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm worried that when FreeNAS 10 rolls around, there will be no more CIFS support for unix permissions anymore
So, I'm wondering, what would be the best solution to setup CIFS (or windows for that matter) to connect to unix permission shares?
Side note: I am the only tech savvy individual in my household and so if I could keep the simplicity of CIFS (opening a windows browser and seeing that directory as if it was local) just for the other people in the house, that would be a ++.
I would appreciate your assistance. :)
Thank you in advance,
Michael L.
