I am using FFS to synchronize SMB share (FreeNnas
http://www.freenas.org/) with Windows 7 folder.
After successful synchronization some of files/ directory from SMB share have
different attributes then before that. I would like that the attributes remain
same.

Is it attributes of source or target files? What attributes are not the same?

SMB share is on the left site and windows share on the right site. I have
Mirroring from left to right with FFS running on the left Windows 7. After
mirroring attributes of some file on the left site are changed. Left site is a
smb share of FreeNAS. Before the mirroring none of the files on right site has
a ACL only traditional Unix attributes. After mirroring some files (not all)
have ACL.

FFS doesn't touch source files in any way.

If you haven't set menu->global settings->copy NTFS permissions, this is
Windows default behavior. (files inherit ACL from their parent folder when
newly created/copied). If you have set "copy NTFS permissions", this will copy
permissions that "look like unix attributes" even on Windows. Generally "copy
NTFS permissions" should only be used when copying from NTFS to NTFS.
