Public bug reported:
According to Samba4 documentation, there is a vfs module that is
supposed to work hand in hand with zfs, called zfsacl. The documentation
for this (for 4.7.6) can be found listed here:
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/4.7/man-html/vfs_zfsacl.8.html
However, when attempting to use the zfsacl vfs module in a smb.conf file like
so:
[storage]
path = "/mnt/zfs_pool/storage"
printable = no
veto files = /.snapshot/.windows/.mac/.zfs/
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
access based share enum = no
recycle:repository = .recycle/%U
recycle:keeptree = yes
recycle:versions = yes
recycle:touch = yes
recycle:directory_mode = 0777
recycle:subdir_mode = 0700
vfs objects = streams_xattr recycle zfsacl
hide dot files = no
guest ok = no
nfs4:mode = special
nfs4:acedup = merge
nfs4:chown = yes
Samba will start the service fine, but then reports the following in log.smbd
when attempting to access the share:
$ tail -f /var/log/samba/log.smbd

Whats happening:
See the above explanation and logs
Expectation:
I am not sure whether to file this against samba or samba-vfs-modules (as it is
a two part bug which I am beginning to believe works hand in hand
(--with-acl-support not being enabled and the zfsacl module missing). What I
was expecting to happen, was that a zfsacl module would exist and the share
would be accessible without issue. I have been doing some research into this
for a few days, and this is the only conclusion I can come to.
Some additional resources (chat logs):
Conversation in #samba
<caliculk> Hello, I just wanted to double check, but, I have been having issues
locating the zfsacl vfs option.
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2399285 when I try to use the zfsacl
vfs option, I experience issues with Ubuntu 18.04 Samba Version 4.7.6 not being
able to find the kernel module, even though from the docs I have read, it
should be available in that version. Is there some other way to install zfsacl
vfs module?
<caliculk> Or I guess a better question, why is the --with-acl-support default
to no?
<abartlet> it doesn't
<abartlet> --with-acl-support
<abartlet> Build with acl-support support (default=yes)
<caliculk>
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build-time_configuration_options#--with-acl-support
<caliculk> That says it defaults to no
<caliculk> If I check samba 4.7.6 using smbd -b I don't have acl support there.
<caliculk> Under the "--with Options:"
<abartlet> caliculk: wikis are often wrong
<abartlet> feel free to fix
<caliculk> They may be often wrong, but, thats all I have to go off of as to
trying to figure out why I can't find the stupid zfsacl vfs module on this
samba installation. :/
<caliculk> Because otherwise: ~$ sudo smbd -b | grep -i zfs
<caliculk> ~$
<caliculk> And I have "ii samba-vfs-modules
2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.2 amd64 Samba Virtual FileSystem plugins
<caliculk> " installed
<abartlet> ok, wiki page fixed (deleted)
<abartlet> sorry, got to get back to work
<caliculk> No worries, if you wouldn't mind helping when you do you have some
free time even in the form of some suggestions on where to find the zfsacl vfs
module, it would be much appreciated.
Conversation in #ubuntu-server
<caliculk> Hey everyone, I was looking to see if anyone had any information on
if zfsacl module is being withheld in the samba package, as according to the
samba docs, it should be included in 4.7.6 but it doesn't appear to be the case
when trying to use it as a vfs option.
<caliculk> For reference, I am referring to this:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2399285
<ahasenack> caliculk: hi, I don't remember it being excluded on purpose
<ahasenack>
--with-shared-modules=idmap_rid,idmap_ad,idmap_adex,idmap_hash,idmap_ldap,idmap_tdb2,vfs_dfs_samba4,auth_samba4
\
<caliculk> ahasenack, is there any way (besides building from source) to
possibly add it back in?
<caliculk> otherwise, ill open up a bug ticket because something is off
<ahasenack> I think a bug is in order
<ahasenack> and probably a debian one as well
<ahasenack> as we take the samba package mostly from them, just adding some
touches
<ahasenack> I did a quick search in their bug database, and found nothing about
zfs in the samba package
<ahasenack> caliculk: can you elaborate on what starts working once this module
is in place?
<ahasenack> it's best to elaborate in the bug, though
<sarnold> ahasenack: zfs doesn't use the posix-ish acls that most of linux
uses, they use the nfsv4 acls instead
<sarnold> ahasenack: this module looks like it's a way for samba to use the
nfsv4 acls on zfs backed storage rather than the posix acls that might have
worked elsewhere
