+ The * Windows * :guilabel: ` Permission Type ` is used for SMB shares or when
516
+ the %brand% system is a member of an Active Directory domain. This adds
517
+ ACLs to traditional * Unix * permissions. When the * Windows *
518
+ :guilabel: ` Permission Type ` is set, ACLs are set to Windows defaults
519
+ for new files and directories. A Windows client can be used to further
520
+ fine-tune permissions as needed.

522
+ The * Unix * :guilabel: ` Permission Type ` is usually used with NFS shares .
523
+ These permissions are compatible with most network clients and generally
524
+ work well with a mix of operating systems or clients. However, * Unix *
525
+ permissions do not support Windows ACLs and should not be used with SMB
526
+ shares.

528
+ The * Mac * :guilabel: ` Permission Type ` is used with AFP shares.

530
+ After a volume or dataset has been set to * Windows *, it cannot be
531
+ changed to * Unix * permissions because that would remove extended
532
