?? Changing Owner and/or permissions on data stored on NAS

[BobMCT]

I've searched unsuccessfully and cannot find a solution. When I transferred all my data to the newly installed TrueNAS 12.0.U5.1 all the owner ids got changed to root and the permissions to 544 which initially is preventing virtually all access to these files. I tried as sudo using the chown -R newuser * and it seems to run with out errors. But upon completion nothing has changed. I did the same with the permissions just to see what would happen (chmod -R 774 *). I even used the shell from the TrueNAS admin page to run the same commands. Same result.

So I'm asking if anyone has run into this and overcome it in some way? Hopefully someone can provide a suggestion as to what to do.

Thanks in advance.

Have you created the users from the FreeNAS GUI?
Instead of using the wildcard, change ownership of the current directory ( . ) instead and use the UserID. Also run this verbose so you can see if there's any issues along the way:

Code:

chown -Rv userid .

Tried all those - BTW I support both CISF and NFS access. I finally got NFS working well and my *nix systems now access fine and my lone Windoze PC uses CIFS to access fine. I guess problem solved. But the inability to change items was interesting and frustrating none the less.
Thank you.
