Hey guys! I was just wondering on the correct syntax to display octal permissions of files on FreeNAS 11. Currently on my Ubuntu server, I use: stat -c "%a %n" * But it returns an error complaining about the "-c" arg. Looking at the stat manpage: "-c --format=FORMAT use the specified...

Hi, I'm new here and I really need some help. I have a FreeNAS device that has been running for nearly 2/3 of a year now. Just a basic 1 volume NAS setup as a windows share with no plugins or really anything else running (keeping it simple since I haven't had the time or motivation to get really...

Muy buenas, tengo un problemita, a ver si alguno puede ayudarme. Sobre Freenas 11 tengo un Jail con Nextcloud funcionando correctamente, ahora el tema es que hemos añadido un almacenamiento externo, el cual es accesible desde NextCloud y desde los ordenadores que acceden a FreeNas en modo local...

I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong topic, and I've been searching for a solution for this for a while without any luck. I'm new to FreeNAS (and any server OS software in fact) and posting in forums, so go easy on me. I'm setting up a server for a non-profit organization and I'm...

I'm sure that permissions have to be the most asked category here, and I hate to add another, but I'm struggling. My goal is to use FreeNAS with the PLEX plug-in to provide a media server that my smart TV can access. I've got a Windows Workgroup environment. I want the members of my family to...

Edit: Seems like the easiest way to give permissions for applications in jails to write outside the jail is to give the "Everyone" user permission to write? (This is using Windows sharing options)

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble to correctly set up permissions on SMB shares also used, on host, by Syncthing. I read the documentation, I watched the two videos by m0nkey and searched on the forum. But I cannot wrap my mind about how to set permissions to get everything working. Syncthing...

FreeNAS : FreeNAS-11.1-RELEASE Hello On the FreeNAS I set-up OpenDirectory binding correctly in order I can see/selecting OpenDirectory users and groups. Now I have troubles to set-up the appropriate AFP shares. The created volumes have the standard owner permissions "root/wheel". On this...

I apologize for the long post ahead of time. I'm not getting any traction on another post I created a while ago, so I'm trying here. About 3 years ago when I setup my freenas box using Freenas 9, I setup my Main volume as a Unix volume. I then created 2 datasets, DS1 and Media. DS1 is a...

I'm trying to enable spotlight indexing on my AFP FreeNAS share and it returns indexing disabled or unknown indexing state I tried everything aka everything that i found on google I think that it's something to do with my share permissions not with my indexing because a) indexing works fine...

Hi All! This is my first post, and I'm brand-new to FreeNAS, so please do not hesitate to correct me wherever I'm wrong. I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious. So, I have a running FreeNAS-11.0-U4 server running just fine on its own. The goal of this server is to be a target for Veeam...

I've struggled with this for years now (setting proper cross-platform file permissions so that users can authenticate and properly use files from a mac, windows, or linux OS). Ive got the following requirements: * multiple windows machines reading and writing files to a shared drive. * 1 mac...

Hello everyone, After the recent events regarding Corral, I was seriously considering to upgrade to 11. I wanted to wait for 11.1 and the implementation of Docker, but some other problems with my containers under Corral made me switch. The upgrade went fine and my pool was successfully...

Hi, I am having trouble getting my sabnzb plugin working. I have made a jail and pointed media/download to /mnt/media/download, which is a smb share. When I from the sabnzb webgui try to set incomplete folder I get this message "Cannot create download_dir folder /media/download/incomplete" I...

Hello, I would like to state that I have been lurking on this forum for quite some time and this is my first time posting here (yay!). I think this says a lot on how helpful this community is and how easy it is to find what you need in these forums. I have scoured the forums for days now and it...

Hey guys. Sorry for such a general/basic question but I think I have done my absolute best in being able to solve all sorts of problems on my own up to this point. When it comes to Linux permissions I'm still quite a bit in the dark. To clarify I *have* read through this...

My recently deployed Freenas 11.0-U2 is attached to Active Directory and is syncing users and groups but very, very slowly. After attaching to AD I created a dataset and shared it out over SMB. I created a new group in AD just for testing permissions and added myself to that group in AD. I...

Hello, We have been using FreeNAS on our campus for a few years now and I must say, it's a great storage solution. Better than many commercial offerings! However one issue came up when we had to migrate a Windows server to FreeNAS on an emergency basis (the windows server crashed). The samba...

First off. Let start by saying that I have read and read and read some more on how to set up permissions in CIFS and I still can't seem to get this to work. I've worked through multiple problems and gone from having absolutely nothing working to 'almost' having everything sorted. I just can't...

Hello, Using freenas 11, (my first experience with freenas/freebsd). I got running: Sickbeard, plex, sabnzbd, transmission and couchpotato in jails. a ubuntu vm with pi-hole. Made a storage structure of: Data - downloads, incomplete, movies, series. -> permissions media:media in freenas gui...

I have been running Freenas for probably 2 months or so and have posted AND received excellent information on the Plex media Server for mapping folders. I started with FN9.3, skipped Corral and went directly to the 9.11 Stable upgrade. My network consists of Win10 Pro accessing the server and up...

OK, so I'm a relative UNIX newbie and I'm still working my way through permissions. In this case, the problem I've run into is that when I try to access the syncthing web interface: I am prompted for authentication: I've tried the various UID's I've configured and none of them seem to...

I just freshly installed FreeNAS 11 U2 from the iso and imported my old pool into it. I was on corral prior to this and just wanted to update to the current 11 branch. Since there were so many changes I decided to start the setup from scratch. As I went through to set it up plex,sonarr,radarr...

FreeNAS v11.0-U2 Hi I have a DataSet called "Films", which has the owner of "nobody" and the owner group "Films". By default the Windows Share has the Security properties of: Everyone [Read & Execute, List folder contents, Read] Films (FreeNAS\Films) [Full control] nobody (FreeNAS\nobody)...

So first I would like to say I am brand new to FreeNAS. I installed it yesterday for the first time. I have some knowledge of Ubuntu 16.04. The Setup: I have Plex, Transmission, CouchPotato, and Nextcloud all working from different jails, but they share the same folder, /mnt/Plex. Now I have...

Hi, I have been trying to figure out how to have multiple plugins run inside 1 jail. I have created a standard jail template and used 'pkg' to install several plugins (radarr, sonarr, nzbget, transmission, and plex-pass) but run into an issue when I try to add a movie or TV show, it says...

I setup a NFS share that is working flawlessly with my Ubuntu server, matched up the uids and gids and I'm good to go. Now when I mount my NFS share to my windows box I'm able to view the directories and files in explorer. I'm able to delete files and move them between folders, but whenever I...

Hi I've been trying on and off for quite a while now to set up my server the way I'd like it, but I'm really struggling with how to set up permissions correctly. I've read tutorials and watched videos, but I'm just not sure I'm doing things correctly as I just cannot get the system set up the...

Howdy Everyone, When trying to add a show via SickRage I'm getting this error in the logs: 2017-06-22 19:40:25 Thread-36 :: [96b53de] Unable to create the folder /media/tv/Fear the Walking Dead, can't add the show I've been going through the forums and the closest thing that I could find...

Hello, I stupidly decided to recursively change permissions in my jails dataset and now I cannot seem to get ANY of my jails to start, whether they're manually installed jails or installed from the plugins menu. I've tried going into each jail to manually 'service [plugin] start' each service...

Hi all, Following up on a previous post (https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-nextcloud-get-acces-to-my-share.48566/) the suggestions (https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-giving-plugins-write-permissions-to-your-data.27273/) don’t really work for me in my...

Hey people. I'm not happy with how my CIFS permissions/owners were set up and would like to start again, without wiping the whole system or removing data. System is Asrock 2750 with 8x4TBWDReds, 16GB ECC, running FreeNAS-9.10.2-U2. ~50% utilized. Owner user is Root and owner group is...

Greetings to a most helpful group! I built my first server for the house, I set up a dataset, I configured fstab to automatically mount the dataset on a remote machine. So far so good, but I'm a bit perplexed by permissions, and think I must be missing something. I created three users. Call...

Hey all So I have a jail deluge which has 2 mounts media (CIFS) and deluge_data. I'm using FileBotTool plugin in deluge to create a symlink from /mnt/deluge_data/completed/movies/Totally Cool/totallycool.mkv to /mnt/media/share1/Movies/Totally Cool (2017)/Totally Cool.mkv When browsing as...

UPDATE: It seems I just need to allow permission for the group that my LDAP users are in to access the share(NAS). Trying to do so results in a "you do not have the necessary permissions" any ideas ? Thanks. Hi everyone Im on a fresh install of freeNAS however I already have users on my Mac...

Ok so I use this program to download music from youtube in bulk, Mediahuman. Mediahuman takes a youtube playlist, adds metadata and then downloads the audio as a .mp3 file. Simple stuff right?

Hello everyone, I write because I have not found anything on the web that would allow me to solve my problem. My problem is that having a dataset that I call "Daset1" I have not figured out how to assign permissions for users who have 3, permissions must be assigned so that "user1" and "user3"...

Hi All, I've been running FreeNAS with Windows AD integration successfully for almost a year now. AD users had their own shares which they could add/delete files and AD domain admins also had full control (being the admin group). Disaster struck Monday and I am still picking up the pieces. I am...

Hello I'm pretty new to freenas and for the past 3 months it's just been running as a NAS without any other functions. Now I wanted to enable Plex but I ran into a problem. I Installed plex, went to jails ->add storage and added my media folder as source and the media subfolder in the plex jail...

Hallo! Bei mir läuft die aktuellste Version von Freenas und einem Raid 0 von zwei WD Reds, die ich auf 2 Datasets aufgeteilt habe. Die Client-PC sind allesamt Windoof 10. Nun habe ich für jedes dieser Datasets einen SMB-Share angelegt. Warnung: Ich habe so ziemlich keine Ahnung von Unix vs...

Caveat: This is a work-in-progress Correctly setting permissions on any server requires care and planning. In the case of Samba servers this becomes even more important for the server administrator because he or she has to understand the differences between Windows and Unix permissions models...

Honestly I don't even know where to start, ever since I updated to a new nightly things have been messed up. I am currently back on 9.10 stable. I have a couple users, Chris (me), transmission, house (for my IP cams). I have a share names private that has the owner and group as Chris with only...

Hello, I just recently set up my first FreeNAS box. I'm blown away by the awesomeness so far, but there is one issue that I can't seem to figure out. I'm sure that it's a noobish mistake. Here's the scenario: Two jails, each with the same dataset mounted as storage. Both jails have an...

I am working to get Resilio set up as a plugin, but I can't seem to figure out how to get access to the share permissions working for it. It continues to tell me it's missing write permissions and therefore it won't add the folder. I am using Active Directory, and every share permission is set...
