Is their a reason why you want to run cifs? I would run NFS3, it’s much faster plus smb /cifs is more for file share between windows and Linux.
There is no reason as far as I learn more this was probably not the best way to set it up but I was just following guides to learn. The goal in the future is to build a bigger storage server and run something like TrueNas. I will look into NFS3 though it could solve some of my problems with the current setup.
There are other things to consider as well. Nfsv3 is good for large sequential reads/writes. There are no multichannel in nfs3 and no caching , and you should adapt technology to the use-case. For vm storage nfs sucks while for movie storage it works great.
For general file storage I would pick smbv3 for speed and ease of user/security
