Feature Request

Summary

Enhance ZFS dataset sharing functionality with improved NFS and SMB support.

Motivation

The current share/unshare implementation is incomplete and requires manual intervention. We need a more robust solution that handles both NFS and SMB sharing consistently.

Detailed Design

  1. Sharing System Enhancements:

    • Implement automatic handling of sharenfs/sharesmb properties
    • Add proper legacy share mode support
    • Create automated SMB configuration management

  2. New Features:

    • Automatic smb.conf management
    • Share state validation
    • Migration tools for legacy to new share format

Alternatives

  1. Retain current configuration but improve documentation
  2. Use external tools for share management
  3. Implement custom sharing layer on top of zfs share props?

Acceptance Criteria

  • Consistent share behavior regardless of property settings
  • Automated SMB configuration management
  • Support for both legacy and new sharing mechanisms
  • Comprehensive validation of share states
  • Documentation for all sharing scenarios
