Can't see files created by other Jails

[David McKeen]

I recently upgraded to the latest freenas and recreated my plugins to update them. I mounted my shared dataset to each jail but one jail can't seem to see the filed created from another. Not really sure what to do from here. I tried chmod to make them 7777 but nothing seems to work.

if the chmod 777 didn't work, something else is happening here, but normally it would be file permissions/ownership as the cause.

What user are your respective jails using (UID and GID is important more than the name)?

 

[Fredda]

Check if the files or directories in question have ACLs. You can check them from the shell with the getfacl command or via windows in the explorer via properties->security.

@sretalla
Looks like "root" is running the jails from what I can see by the GUI. Userid is 0

@Fredda
running that command didn't seem to return anything for quite awhile. I ran it in the directory I wanted to know this information. When i look in windows, everything has "special" permissions. Not sure how to tell if there is an ACL.

What did the getfacl command return or not return? The command output for a file or directory in question would surely help.

When i did a ls -l it shows all files as owned by root and with 1111 permissions. I tried running chmod -R 7777 *.* and it doesn't give me and error but just looks like it does something. Files still show 1111. Not sure if i am not doing something right here.

 

[sretalla]

Can you share the output of ls -l ? File names are not important.

 

[Fredda]

And additionally to the ls -l output you should also give the getfacl output of that filenames.

I tried running chmod -R 7777 *.*

I see two possible mistakes here:

1. *.* might not really do what you intend. Probably a . would have been what you wanted to use.
2. don't use the fourth octal here, this is not for file permissions u/g/w but is for special flags, that might have unwanted effects.

@sretalla
Every file is the same with this after the file name:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root 1111

getfacl of file

@Fredda
I'm trying to chmod all files and directories in that folder. I tried "chmod -R 777 ." like you suggsted but files are still set at 1111

 

[SweetAndLow]

Getfacl and chmod are two separate permission models. Are you usually acl's or Unix mode bits? What is the dateset aclmode setting?

 

[David McKeen]

I am using whatever the default model is. Assumed it was unix mode bits. Before I upgraded to 11.x i was using chmod to change permissions. I recreated the jails after i upgraded to 11.x and have had this issue since.
