Why? I run a FreeNAS mini at home with all Apple serving NFS to them. I have a single AFP share for Time Machine backups. At work we have a TrueNAS and 50+ MacBook Pros with a Time Machine share and NFS shares for anything else.
- _Codemonkeyism 10y agoMostly left over temporary files and directories MS Office uses to lock things, or during saving, or Apple uses to safely delete files. Some applications like Affinity can't often save to network shares from FreeNAS. Users then save to Desktop and afterwards to the network shares. Also lots of permission problems, especially in mixed Apple/Windows setups. Only good thing are ZFS snapshots b/c users often delete files they didn't want to delete in the first place.

The unfortunate reality is the permission model different file sharing protocols use is different, which is why FreeNAS asks you upfront which permission model you want to use when you create a ZFS dataset. If you're running a mixed environment and Windows is anywhere in that mix, just use SMB and save yourself the headache.
- myrandomcomment 10y agoYou need to check your permissions model for the volume vs the share type. That is the issue 99% of the time. Simplest is to go all NFS for everything or all SMB for everything. Both work.
