[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#964427: Where is vfs_zfsacl?

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u1
Severity: wishlist

I looked into SMB/ZFS integration today.
It seems this module exists upstream, but not in Debian:

    https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_zfsacl.8.html
    https://wiki.freebsd.org/Samba4ZFS

Is this intentional?

I do not know yet if this is a USEFUL module.
ZFS-on-Linux people rarely mention it, but
maybe that's a chicken-and-egg problem
(it's not in Debian or Ubuntu, so
they don't realize it exists in the first place).

Hrm, from this page, it sounds like maybe vfs_zfsacl is only useful on
Linux after someone merges some support into ZOL (zfs-dkms)?
