So why not the built-in CIFS support in OpenSolaris?  Probably has a
similar issue, but still.

In my case, it’s at least two reasons:

* Crossing mountpoints requires separate shares - Samba can share an entire hierarchy regardless of ZFS filesystems beneath the sharepoint.

* LDAP integration - the in-kernel CIFS only supports real AD (LDAP +krb5) for directory binding otherwise all users must have a separately managed local system accounts.

Until these features are available via the in-kernel CIFS implementation, I’m forced to stick with Samba for our CIFS needs.

cheers,
James
