with SAMBA and winbind you may loose: - snaps via Windows previous version - Windows compatible ntfs4 ACL (only Posix ACL ?) - SMB as a ZFS property - interoperability with NFS4 - movable pools that keep ACL intact - performance, kernel based CIFS server is mostly faster - CIFS is managed by Illumos, not a third party product that cares mostly about Linux - napp-it integration
>From Windows and interoperability view CIFS is much better. A minimal solution may be using at least the UID/GID provided by idmap for already created AD users, optionally add a SID->UID/GID entry in this database. In this case, you do not write proper ACL but use at least the same UID/GID like CIFS I have not tried if CIFS is using the proper SID via idmap when there is only a UID/GID entry in files.
