NFS + SMB can be used and managed with 'sharemgr'. SamFS has Posix ACL's
and NFS/SMB modules can convert between Posix and NFSv4 ACL.
Unfortunately in Illumos NFS and SMB use different implementation for
that and the code (kernel) for SMB is a little bit outdated.
**
The Illumos kernelbased SMB server with real Windows ntfs alike NFSv4
ACL with inheritance in the ZFS filesystem that are not only "faked" by
the SMB server, Windows SID as AD owner/user authorisation reference and
local SMB groups or the long awaited future user auditing for SMB (and
NFS4.1+) are my main, propably only reason not to think about a switch
to pure Open-ZFS.
Compared to Linux, OmniOS is ultra trouble free on updates (or
downgrades) and daily use without the dozens of "if there is a problem
on Linux, there are 10 different distributions or solutions, select one
yourself and hope and pray..". Really, I would't want to miss the
easyness and deep integration of ZFS on Illumos.
So SAMFS is no alternative if a switch to Posix ACL (or SAMBA) is
required. NFSv4 ACL are far superiour to Posix ACL.
*
btw
The real question is not another filesystem beside ZFS on Illumos but
how can it goes on without full Open-ZFS feature integration.*
