We have a few dozen Windows systems, but nothing complex enough to require
more than simple POSIX permissions. Most of those Windows systems are
instrument systems feeding an analysis pipeline and all connect with a
single user account. The regular user accounts just belong to standard UNIX
groups so don't really require ACLs to manage.

Most of the systems using the storage are Linux cluster nodes running the
analysis pipeline over NFS.
