`<html><head></head><body>I would like to remind all those interested in netatalk that a future switch to smb will probably cause loss of finder labels and similar metadata, plus some mismatch in uncommon characters like question marks and so on.<br>
At least, both happened to me and I was using a very basic configuration.<br>
<br>
It is possible to convert the metadata manually, but I forgot the name of the tool able to do that. I used an apple script I wrote for that, but there are better tools. I can provide it if requested.<br>
<br>
After my experience I'm of the opinion that, as long as no client uses OS X < 10.9 and as long as an OmniOS with built-in kernel smb2 is available, smb2 should be the choice.<br>
I never felt the need of Samba on OmniOS, since I use no AD credentials.<br>
<br>
If the chosen OmniOS has only cifs support, then netatalk will bring a visible performance benefit (but require later a conversion of metadata).<br>

<br />
There are someone with experience in running SMB and/or Netatalk over OmniOS ?<br />
<br />
Works OK ?<br />
<br />
Some caveats to avoid ?<br />
<br />
The possible scenario would be a server to hold Audio and Video files<br />
in a Video/Audio editing facility, with 10 GB network in/out, and 12 8<br />
TB hard disks in Raid Z2, 2 256GB SSD to ZIL, no ARC, 128 GB RAM .<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance ...<br />
