Ok, i'm ready to pull my hair out. I've been at this for 7 hours now and ready to break something.
I started by trying to do the sane thing and give permissions to the correct users / groups, but at least one thing doesn't work in every scenario, so i've resorted to just trying to give everything all access, but that wont even work.
I've got freenas 1.9.3 stable running
plex running in a jail
windows clients on the network
mac client on the network
linux clients on the network
I've created "guest" user and "guest" group. I've given them 777 in home directory. no other boxes checked in the user screen.
I've got a volume with apply owner checked, owner is "guest", apply owner group checked, group is "guest", mode has everything checked (777), permission type set to unix. I check set permission recursively.
I've got a cifs share created with apply default perms checked. browsable to network checked, allow guest access checked.
I've got the cifs service config as follows: workgroup "WORKGROUP" local master checked guest account set to "guest" file mask "0777" directory mask "0777" allow empty passsword checked.
The cifs service is turned on. I've stopped and started it numerous times as i'm changing things just in case.
Yet, in windows... The permissions still do not allow everyone write access. I've disconnected the mapped drive, and reconnected dozens of times.
Also, in plex jaiil, my camera uploads are not working. (I have a storage mapped to the plex jail and am using a photos directory created on one of my shares as the upload directory for plex camera upload). It doesn't work, and I can only assume its permissions because if i use the default option (where it uploads to a directory within the jail that it owns and created), then it works fine.
So frustrated right now. What am I doing wrong here??
