The latest release of FreeNAS uses FreeBSD 10.3 -- but FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE has itself not yet been published. That's pretty up to date with the latest FreeBSD releases if you ask me. However, yes, sure. You can do what you want with a basic FreeBSD install and a few bits of software from ports. > I always thought that FreeNAS doesn`t support snapshots through previou= s > versions properly. > Did that change in any way with Samba4? Not sure exactly what you're expecting from these snapshots. Yes, you can export a ZFS to mount onto a Windows server via Samba. You will have the ability to make snapshots galore on the server, and even to turn those snapshots into cloned filesystems or mount the snapshots. I have no idea if you can export a snapshot for any sort of remote mount -- you can certainly export a cloned fileesystem for that purpose, or you can send the snapshotted ZFS to another machine for backup.
