FreeNAS Homedirs

[mister-man]

Hi everyone,

I'm new at FreeNAS and try to setup my first own Build NAS.
My old NAS creates a homedir for every user. Now I try to build these Feature with FreeNAS.

My Steps:
1. Create a ZFS-Volume "/data1"
2. Create a dataset "/data1/home"
3. Activate homedirectorys in CIF Settings an set path to "/data1/home"
4. Activate CIF
6. Create a dataset "/data1/home/Exampleuser"
5. Create a User "Exampleuser"
7. Set group and user for dataset "/data1/home/Exampleuser" from "root:wheel" to "Exampleuser:Exampleuser"


After these steps I found a cifshare with windows explorer, but I can't access.
Is there a misstake in my configuration or is it a easier way to do these? On my old NAS I must only set the path to the home directory folder and check a checkbox by adding a user.


Thanks for helping.

You're asking a permissions question.. nobody answers permissions questions because it's just too complex and not really something we can teach you in a few sentences. A few chapters in a book maybe... but a few sentences, not a chance.

If you are getting an error that is related to path not found that it because the home directory for each user needs to be lower case even if the actual username has uppercase letters.. This has to do with how authentication with over smb and how freenas looks up users.
