I don`t need the convenience of a web interface like nappit or freenas offers. In fact i see it as an oppurtunity to learn more about zfs when i don`t have the comfort of a nice and clean web interface. Can you poiunt me in any specific direction of how to get this done through FreeBSD and Samba4? I assume it doesn`T work out of the box and there is some special configuration required? Do i need to export the snapshots directory as a samba share to make this work or are there any special configuration directives i need to consider?
