Jail writing files with incorrect permissions.

[briarknit]

I have a jail set up specifically for lftp. My issue is that the storage that I've attached to the jail has the permissions set to

Code:

Owner: nobody
Group: main
775

The problem comes when I run my task which runs jexec to run my lftp script, lftp is copying files to that attached storage with the owner being root instead of nobody. To make things even stranger, this was all working fine up until I had to recreate the jail today. Why would the jail be writing files to attached storage as root instead of the files being written with whatever owner is already set for that storage in the first place?

thats how it usually works, a process writes files as whatever user the process is running as. certain programs that run as root can change this behaviour, but that's program specific.
