+Now to deal with the permissions
There are two type of permissions accessible through icons in the share view
* Share ACL - set to allow everyone by default
* Edit Filesystem ACL - where one actually wants to control permissions
+Create smb user and allow the access to the share

+* Credentials > Local Users > Add
+* set user name, for example: smb_usr
+ note the default UID for very first account added manually being `3000`

+
+Trying to access the IP of truenas instance with the now set credentials
+should allow full access to the share.
+
+Worth noting that it's the UID number that identifies users,
+not the username.
+
+#### SMB share for everyone
+
+One might think that just allowing group `everyone@` access is enough.
+But when someone connects to a share, there must be a username used.
+For this a guest account needs to be enabled,
+which under the hood is named `nobody`

+#### Mounting network share at boot
+
+Using systemd. And the instructions from [arch wiki.](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/samba#As_systemd_unit)
+
+`/etc/systemd/system/mnt-bigdisk.mount`
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=12TB truenas mount

### NFS share
+Linux to linux file sharing. Simple.
+
+Before creation of nfs share, a linux permission group should be planned to use.
+Lets say that a group named `nfs` with gid `1100`
+
+on linux client machine
+
+ - `sudo groupadd -g 1100 nfs` - create the group
+ - `sudo gpasswd -a bastard nfs` - add the user in to the group
+ - log out, log in, check with `id`
+
+Now on truenas the new group is created and set for the dataset
+and NFSv4 share is set.
+
+* create nfs group with guid 1100
+ Credentials > Local Groups > Add > GID = 1100; Name = nfs
+* create new Dataset
+ Datasets > Add Dataset > Name it; keep defaults
+* set `nfs` group for this dataset root
+ Datasets > Permissions (scroll down, bottom right) > Edit
+ Group = nfs; check `Apply Group`; check `Apply permissions recursively`
+ Save
+* switch NFS to version 4
+ Shares > UNIX (NFS) Shares > three dots > Config Service
+ check `Enable NFSv4`; check `NFSv3 ownership model for NFSv4`
+ Save
+* Set nfs share
+ Shares > UNIX (NFS) Shares > Add
+ pick path to the dataset
+ Save
+
+
+Test mounting on client machine, in my case arch linux machine,
+[here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NFS#Client) is wiki on nfs
+
+* check you see the share `showmount -e 10.0.19.11`
+* mount the share `sudo mount 10.0.19.11:/mnt/Pool-02/sun/ ~/temp`
+* should work can check version using `nfsstat -m` or `rpcinfo -p 10.0.19.11`
+
