A serious question: why use FreeNAS, a repackaged FreeBSD, when you can just use the way more up to date real thing - FreeBSD 10.1 itself?
Are you a FreeBSD admin? If not, you have no chance in hell of getting something usable in a decent amount of time.
You do have that chance with FreeNAS.
Not by vocation, but it was pretty easy to learn enough to get by just fine. As it happens I did "get something usable" running in not much time at all.
I'm guessing it did not serve data stored on a ZFS pool via several protocols while still allowing for proper permissions.

Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
