Group ID not set properly on NFS share

[umSteve]

I'm mounting a FreeNAS 11 dataset from a Linux/Ubuntu system, and I've created user and group IDs on FreeNAS that match my user and group ID on the linux system. But when I create a file from the Linux system, the user ID is set properly, but the group ID is always set to Wheel (gid = 0). So how can I configure the FreeNAS share to use my group ID from the client computer when a file is created?

The dataset permsissions: owner = root:wheel, apply owner(user,group, mode) = checked, mode = RWX for owner, group, and other, and permission type = Unix.



Thanks,
Steve

Group ownership is inherited from the parent directory. It has nothing to do with your primary group membership.

What SweetAndLow said is correct, and is a BSDism. I wish there was a way to set a preference for this behavior if you'd prefer new files/dirs to assume the creator's primary group membership, but I haven't found one.
