NAME
vfs_zfsacl - ZFS ACL samba module
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = zfsacl
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The zfsacl VFS module is the home for all ACL extensions that Samba
requires for proper integration with ZFS.
Currently the zfsacl vfs module provides extensions in following areas
:
o NFSv4 ACL Interfaces with configurable options for ZFS
NOTE:This module follows the posix-acl behaviour and hence allows
permission stealing via chown. Samba might allow at a later point in
time, to restrict the chown via this module as such restrictions are
the responsibility of the underlying filesystem than of Samba.
This module makes use of the smb.conf parameter acl map full control =
acl map full control When set to yes (the default), this parameter will
add in the FILE_DELETE_CHILD bit on a returned ACE entry for a file
(not a directory) that already contains all file permissions except for
FILE_DELETE and FILE_DELETE_CHILD. This can prevent Windows
applications that request GENERIC_ALL access from getting ACCESS_DENIED
errors when running against a filesystem with NFSv4 compatible ACLs.
This module is stackable.
Since Samba 4.0 all options are per share options.
OPTIONS
nfs4:mode = [ simple | special ]
Controls substitution of special IDs (OWNER@ and GROUP@) on ZFS.
The use of mode simple is recommended. In this mode only non
inheriting ACL entries for the file owner and group are mapped to
special IDs.
The following MODEs are understood by the module:
o simple(default) - use OWNER@ and GROUP@ special IDs for
non inheriting ACEs only.
o special(deprecated) - use OWNER@ and GROUP@ special IDs
in ACEs for all file owner and group ACEs.
nfs4:acedup = [dontcare|reject|ignore|merge]
This parameter configures how Samba handles duplicate ACEs
encountered in ZFS ACLs. ZFS allows/creates duplicate ACE for
different bits for same ID.
Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values :
o dontcare (default) - copy the ACEs as they come
o reject - stop operation and exit with error on ACL set
op
o ignore - don't include the second matching ACE
o merge - bitwise OR the 2 ace.flag fields and 2 ace.mask
fields of the 2 duplicate ACEs into 1 ACE
nfs4:chown = [yes|no]
This parameter allows enabling or disabling the chown supported by
the underlying filesystem. This parameter should be enabled with
care as it might leave your system insecure.
Some filesystems allow chown as a) giving b) stealing. It is the
latter that is considered a risk.
Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values :
o yes - Enable chown if as supported by the under
filesystem
o no (default) - Disable chown
EXAMPLES
A ZFS mount can be exported via Samba as follows :
[samba_zfs_share]
vfs objects = zfsacl
path = /test/zfs_mount
nfs4: mode = special
nfs4: acedup = merge
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.0.x of the Samba suite.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
