Jails mount point doesnt work

[nicosalto]

Hi,
i just got a new freenas built and installed the latest stable version of freenas.
Iam trying to install Transmission but can't figure it out. I have installed & configure the plugin. It downloads and work fine. But my mount point doesnt work ...
/mnt/videos/videos/downloads/torrents > /media/downloads
set permission to 0777 and clicked Mounted ....

When i got to the /mnt/videos/videos/downloads/torrents folder nothing appear there. But when i ssh and look into /media/downloads i see the files downloaded ...

Hope you guys can help!

It's not mounted as read only? Also I assume you are looking into the correct location? And if you reboot, are your files still in /media/downloads ?

Thanks for the answer Joe.
I restarted the nas and it seem to have done the trick! i think now its linking the 2 folders correctly. But another problem appeared, Transmission doesnt seem to be able to transfert the complete download into the shared location, the downloads stay in the incomplete folder when done... So i guess Transmission doesnt have the right permissions ...
I was reading a tutorial saying i should put my download directories owned by nobody and nogroup, but iam not sure if thats the right thing to do.

Unfortunately I can't help you in this part of the problem, I don't use Transmission at all. I assume that the file you downloaded was completely downloaded? And it could be a permissions issue as you say but if you gave the area 777 then it should be good, unless it's an owner issue. Are you allowing guests? Sorry but that's all I got right now.

Thanks for the help Joe, i'll have a look more deeply into the permission and if i can't figure it out i might post again here!

I don't understand what you mean by mount point doesn't work. Did you add the media download folders using Jails > Storage > Add Storage? When you're done it should look something like this:

Yes i did, but i found a solution.
I switched my jails to windows permissions, and the trick was to give permission to the download folder from windows...
