Indeed, I only find that one line. I can try to find out.

The explaination is:

And wouldn't that also be applicable to zfs?

Yes, I understand that.

What is OMV specific here? Isn't the problem fully included already in linux (=kernel) and samba?

Here, I could imagine that linking with linux-btrfs would be worthwhile.

Why? OMV merely writes the smb.conf...
