Pretty much what OmniOS did for me. The "kernel mode" CIFS
implementation enabled me to access zfs snapshots
through the previous versions tab under a windows client machine. (no
additional configuration required)
That made it very convenient to see all the created snapshots for a
certain directory and to roll back to a specific one if need arises.
I would like to do the same just with FreeBSD and - i assume - probably
Samba4.
As this feature is baked into kernel mode cifs i am not sure how to
start at achieving the same with freebsd + samba4 and my question was
more or less wild guessing that i probably
need to create a samba share for a .zfs directory to make it appear
under the previuos versions tab on windows but maybe i am totally wrong
here, i just wanted to point out that i tried to think about it on my
own before bothering you guys^^
