Plus things like: File Server Remote VSS Protocol (FSRVP) for

I highly doubt that is going to find its way into the illumos cifs
service.
I don't know the protocol by the name, but kCIFS does support access
from Windows to "Previous Versions" or "Shadow Copies" (via its GUI)
of shares on that OpenSolaris SXCE server, where as the said versions
it lists all the snapshots.
So unless you meant something else, I think it is there since the
beginning, or close to that :)
quick disclaimer, I am not a samba expert. I have just been following
the features.
The FSRVP could initiate a snapshot from the windows machine. Right now
the windows machine consumes snapshots via the previous versions from
snapshots initiated on the zfs side.
By the way, one of the features that OpenSolaris team touted for kCIFS
was Windows-like RPC implementation, in particular to view and manage
SMF services as if you managed a remote Windows server. Does Samba
have anything to match that? ;)
No, but Samba 4 can look exactly like an AD domain controller, which can
be managed from existing MS tools.
