The best way to implement relative links in Windows (which is not a great idea) is to use VBS script.Their 'Distributed Link Tracking Client' service could potentially make a mess of things.Windows also has a habit of automatically converting environment vars to absolute links, defeating any attempt at working around this. This creates a lot of maintenance should the target root path change. Shortcuts in windows are absolute, not relative ergo not portable.Short-cut links are evaluated and cached by default in Windows when opening the parent folder, causing 'massive' delays in explorer if a folder contains shortcuts to slow or sleeping network shares.It should be possible to create indirect links to access the SMB folders and give those custom icons instead, but that causes multiple other problems:.The lack of Desktop.ini processing on SMB breaks many other things that are locally available, not just folder icons: Symbolic Links and 'personalized name spaces' also don't function.There is supposed to be a registry setting that forces Desktop.ini processing by using the 'System' flag instead of 'Read Only' but it may not work as expected.In Windows, Read Only (with folders only) means process Desktop.ini.Desktop.ini is NOT processed by windows for SMB shares, because Linux interprets the (folder's) 'Read Only' bit differently, and reports it back to Windows incorrectly:.Right-click -> Properties -> Customize -> Change Picture has no effect, even if the picture (JPG or PNG) is named folder.jpg and in the root directory of the share.Right-click -> Properties -> Customize -> Change Icon is not available on SMB shares.If it doesn't, in my system notes I found the following: There are a lot of versions of Windows (more so with different updates and security patches/restrictions), so I don't know all the details as it applies to your situation, but the above is what you want to do if it works. If it does work (which for me it no longer does-even on Windows Server-due to security updates), repeat the steps for each image/folder combination on each workstation. This might work: Rename your folder image folder.jpg and place it in the shared folder (this might require a restart of the client, and/or a dump of the cached drive icons). Jgreco: Things in the real world rarely work as well as the theoretical best case scenario. Why, for the love of God, did you buy hardware before you started asking questions? Complexity killed the cat-#1010b times!' I'm perhaps abnormally risk-adverse because I come from a Windows Server environment where the motto is, ' If it ain't broke, it will be.' ZFS eats RAM like a fat man at an all-you-can-eat fried chicken buffet. My bad experience with Seagate stopped immediately after I stopped buying them :) It's actually using very advanced quantum sorcery, but since Unix is Unix, everything gets dumped into the decidedly classical standard output, so that people can do Unix things to it like 'pipe it through SSH' or 'pipe it into a file' or 'pipe it straight to zfs recv' or 'pipe it into cat and immediately get arrested by the Unix police because why the !%#& would you use cat to view a text file, much less a zfs replication stream'. No offense we care more about your data than your feelings. I hope that every byte of this data is either disposable, or is well backed up, sir. OP, just for the record, having a '4 drive stripe', on a scale of ZFS stupidity from 1 to 10, is a 9.998, behind only having a '5 drive stripe'. The correct storage configuration with this model hard drive is as deep in a landfill as possible. I guess I could ask my Ex (she works for HGST) for some discount drives but they may be filled with C4 vs Helium.

Though the fans are rated for 800-1500 rpm (downhill, with a tail-wind, and a moon in the third phase of Venus and with 64-byte UDP packets) We're talking catastrophic PSU failure, massive undetected RAM failure, physical destruction, alien high-intensity degaussing beams, extreme heat or the presence of Linus from LinusTechTips in the same room as the server. You need to change your problem so that lines up with my solution. I sourced most of this from it's too funny to not share.
