### smb sharing

smb is case insensitive and linux is case sensitive. of the few settings that a data-set will not inherit from it's parent is 'casesensitivity' which is on by default. Therefore you must remember to set casesensitivity=insensitive!!

command to setup dataset suitable for smb sharing
`zfs create -o casesensitivity=insensitive -o acltype=posixacl -o xattr=sa -o compression=lz4 poolname/datasetname`
