Assistance with odd AFP permissions issue 9.2.1.6

[Dave Genton]

Using 9.2.1.6-RC totally configured and complete, I have run into a new issue. Today after no changes on it I cannot create new directories inside any of my shares/datasets. I can copy new files into them but cannot copy directories either.

I have never had this issue and backups are still working with time machine etc. I just cannot create NEW directories. I even restored a config.db from yesterday to be sure but I went to bed with all fine and now while I can access my data, I cannot add to if if it involves a new directory. I am using only AFP shares right now, CIFS is disabled as I dont use windows. I did set ACL to unix to fix the timemachine issue per another thread/bug id but only now am I seeing this. A little discouraged after spending all day today trying to fix. Any chmod operations attempted in gui results in log file showing chmod operation not allowed and lists every file in each directory of said data set.

Any specific logs I can check for more specific errors or to why this creeped up without changes being made ?? Glad to look just need direction being new to bsd world.

I think it is because of this, which was fixed last night: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/5314.

Thanks for responding so quickly ! I'd be happy to test next version posted with this fix if you'd like. Was there a nightly last night with 5314 fix in it ??

There is now a nightly which has the fix: http://download.freenas.org/nightly/.

I am still having the same issues. I upgraded to 9.2.1.6.RC2 and I lose ability to create folders within my data sets. I downgraded back to 9.2.1.5 and all the issues go away. Each 9.2.1.6 build I've tried results in apple permissions getting messed up. I've reverted back to 9.2.1.5 all 3 times where the problem is resolved. I thought for sure RC2 would behave differently than RC or beta 9.2.1.6 but not for me.

Dave,

9.2.1.6-betas and newer have a defined expectation for how permissions worked. Before 9.2.1.5 it was trying to make things work with Samba, whereas we've redesigned things to work "properly". This does break permissions for *some* users in 9.2.16, but it's breaking them only by virtue of the permissions being incorrect for how it should have been in 9.2.1.x. Rest assured 9.2.1.6 should be the end-all of permissions changes and I am writing a guide on how to make all of this stuff work properly. ;)
