I'm setting up my first real FreeNAS, and going through the docs and forum posts about the various SMB VFS Objects. Most I've figured out if I need or not. But some I can find little info on, or am confused about. Specifically:
Well that sounds nice enough. Is there some downside to turning it on?
As opposed to...? Not supporting quotas at all? Supporting them in a different way?
What's a 'roaming profile file'? Does it refer to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaming_user_profile ?
Useful how? :) Was this written when Vista was new or old? i.e. does it mean "Vista and newer"? Of course I have no clients with crappy ol' Vista, but I do have Windows 10 clients, is it useful for them?
Sounds interesting! Something like Time Machine for Windows?
This sounds pretty desirable too. Is it a sort of way to keep a share's permissions as if the root permissions were applied recursively and kept that way?
I could see this being useful for a place where people could drop files into a read-only immutable archive. Are there more docs on this somewhere?
Thanks in advance for any insight you may have into any of these!

snapper - Provides the ability for remote SMB clients to access shadow copies of FSRVP snapshots using Windows Explorer.

winmsa - Emulate Microsoft’s MoveSecurityAttributes=0 registry option, setting the ACL for file and directory hierarchies to inherit from the parent directory into which they are moved.

worm - Controls the writability of files and folders depending on their change time and an adjustable grace period.
