Weird. I've lost all my protections on my existing ZFS filesystems previous used with Samba, now being used with CIFS, while trying to fix things. I thought everything worked at first, I could create some files and update some files, but I found I couldn't delete files, and started poking around, and apparently did some stupid things, and have lost all my file protections. I suppose I could roll back to a snapshot, but since I don't really know how to get it right yet anyway I might as well keep playing; I can roll back later if I really need to. It's very strange staring at a file with mode "000" and still being able to access it. It's also very strange being root and being unable to delete a file due to protection issues. I don't believe I approve.
