Pretty much what OmniOS did for me. The "kernel mode" CIFS 
implementation enabled me to access zfs snapshots
through the previous versions tab under a windows client machine. (no 
additional configuration required)
That made it very convenient to see all the created snapshots for a 
certain directory and to roll back to a specific one if need arises.
I would like to do the same just with FreeBSD and - i assume - probably 
Samba4.

As this feature is baked into kernel mode cifs i am not sure how to 
start at achieving the same with freebsd + samba4 and my question was 
more or less wild guessing that i probably
need to create a samba share for a .zfs directory to make it appear 
under the previuos versions tab on windows but maybe i am totally wrong 
here, i just wanted to point out that i tried to think about it on my 
own before bothering you guys^^

Regards

Dennis
