I noticed the performance of ZFS through SAMBA were absolutely terrible. Browsing big folders from a Windows machine was taking seconds.
After reading a lot of documentation about it, and trying out things, I managed to get it working as fast as a Windows file server could be:
You need to tweak both properties called xattr and acltype
Here are a few links about it: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/170 http://www.nerdblog.com/2013/10/zfs-xattr-tuning-on-linux.html
I managed to change these settings by adding a new property from the GUI, but that would be nice to have a specific parameter when you create a file system (or edit it).
Thanks!
Closing due to age and these default properties have been changed recently. You can also edit them in the Properties editor.
