Allow creation of symbolic links in smb share

Behaves as Intended

Description

Symbolic links can seemingly not be created when using smb shares.

>> ln -s "test.txt" "test_symbolic.txt"
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/media/testuser/test_symbolic.txt': Operation not supported

This was tested with a new install of TrueNAS using default settings. A SMB Dataset was created and shared using smb ( Private SMB Datasets and Shares preset) with the following auxiliary parameters:
ixnas:zfs_auto_homedir=true
ixnas:base_user_quota=2TiB

Is there any way to allow the creation of symbolic links for clients of a smb share?

The SMB share needs to be mounted with correct options. MF symlinks should be possible, but by default SMB1 is disabled (and SMB1 unix extensions are what are used to create server-side symlinks).
