File sharing is one of the primary benefits of a NAS. TrueNAS helps foster collaboration between users through network shares.
TrueNAS allows users to create and configure Windows SMB shares, Unix (NFS) shares, and block (iSCSI) share targets.

When creating zvols for shares, avoid giving them names with capital letters or spaces since they can cause problems and failures with iSCSI and NFS shares.

When creating a share, do not attempt to set up the root or pool-level dataset for the share. Instead, create a new dataset under the pool-level dataset for the share. Setting up a share using the root dataset leads to storage configuration issues.
