Hello,
I've been using FreeNAS for a year or so, exclusively with Unix shares. Today I've tried Windows shares with ACL and I ran into some problems.

They didn't work well, so I did a fresh reinstall. The groups I created previously are showing up again if I use:
My questions are:
1. Are groups broken, or this is expected behavior?
2. How come groups persisted after a fresh install?
Edit: ran net groupman cleanup and the groups got removed, but I still don't understand how groupmaps persisted.
Edit2: If I create groups with names different from users, I can add the groups in Windows.
