Errors and warning in the message log

[David Thurfjell]

Last weekend I've upgradeded my old (and not so maintained) Freenas 7 to Freenas 9. I started with a fresh install and restored my files from a backup-server. Unfortunately my hardware is a little bit old and with only 4GB RAM i'll have to use 9.2.1.9 and UFS until I persuaded my wife to buy a new server. I'm using CIFS to share files with both Windows and OS X users.

I've understod that Freenas 9 migrated to NFS4 ACL's which shall support both ZFS and UFS. For me it's important that inherit file permissions and owner works correctly and what I can understand from https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/nfsv4-acls-file-directory-inheritance.20327/ and https://wiki.freebsd.org/NFSv4_ACLs is inherit not working with NFS4 ACL's on UFS. I tried but failed. Therefore i decided to use traditional UNIX-permissions though it fulfills my basic needs. I used chown and chmod via shell to set the permissions directly on the folders.

Everything seems to work just fine seen from the client side. I though have some problems with warning- and error messages in /var/log/messages which I haven't managed to solve;

freenas smbd[15319]: STATUS=daemon 'smbd' finished starting up and ready to serve connectionsWARNING: The "acl check permissions" option is deprecated
This warning shows every time a user access the share.

freenas smbd[3351]: [2015/07/13 06:54:20.472707, 0] ../source3/modules/vfs_posixacl.c:171(smb_ace_to_internal)
freenas smbd[3351]: unknown tag type 64
This message shows in the log every time a file in being written to the share, which means that the log is being spammed with these error-messages.

I've found some information about these messages in the following pages but none of the solutions which is presented there works for me.

The first warning-message only shows after i've added "inherit permissions = yes" & "inherit owner = yes" in auxiliary parameters for the share. The second message always shows after a file been writen, regardless of the configuration. Even with a standard configuration with no additional parameters or settings.

So my questions is now what does these warning- and error messages says? Is there any way to solve them? If not, can I just ignore them and run my configuration with these messages in the log or it there a risk that the files can be corrupted or can something else go wrong?

I would be very grateful for help with this problems/questions thous I love Freenas and would like to continue using it despite old hardware!

The "acl check permissions" message was a bug in 9.2.1.9 and was fixed in 9.3 and is not a problem. The "smb_ace_to_internal" message isn't something to worry about it happens when using smb with posix permissions. I don't think it causes any problems i see it all the time on my server.
