I'm really enjoying the new format with deep dives on tech topics! I'm looking at the "best"(trademark) way of sharing files from a NAS to Windows and Linux/Unix clients. The same share would be used by multiple clients mainly to read files but sometimes to write as well. Should the shares be CIFS? SMB? NFS? A combination (NFS for Linux/Unix, CIFS/SMB for Windows? Is there a best practice to follow? Any caveats? I'm using FreeNAS 9.10 at the moment but I'm looking for a more general overview of best practices and guidelines.
Keep up the great work!
