You may want to use FreeNAS which is made for NAS using FreeBSD.

module?
no idea. it worked many times when i wanted to fetch few files from 
windows. but i don't think anyone really cares very much about it being 
very well tested, bug free and high performance (i may be wrong here).


it's not the way unix is used in normal cases :) (reverse is true)

I think you are. We should care about a KERNEL module being bug free and
high performance. If not, hey why not just use DOS.

Agreed.
We did a migration from a Windows email server a while back (about 40,000
mail boxes). As customers logged into the FreeBSD boxes, a process was
kicked off to copy email from the Windows box to the FreeBSD boxes, this
being done using SMB + some parsing in the script. This worked flawlessly
for about 10 million files.
