Just another permissions issue with transmission ..

[toyebox]

Hey everyone.. I know this is probably a dead horse here.. but for the life of me, with all the reading i have done i am failing to get write permissions correct for my transmission jail. i have tried 3 out of the 4 options on the guide here: https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...plugins-write-permissions-to-your-data.27273/

My dataset is named Storage, and owned by group: HomeUsers and user: Matt and GID/UID of 1001

I have added storage to the jail that points to: Storage/Downloads/torrents/ and on the jail its mounted as: /mnt/storage/

here are my current permissions of that folder:

drwxrwxr-x+ 3 torrent torrent 3 Aug 22 13:37 Downloads
drwxrwxr-x+ 2 torrent torrent 1786 Aug 22 12:39 Movies
drwxrwxr-x+ 96 torrent torrent 98 Aug 22 12:39 Tv Shows

i used option 2 on the guide. here are the commands i executed.

# pw useradd -n torrent -u 1001 -d /nonexistent -s /usr/sbin/nologin
# service transmission onestop
# chown -R torrent:transmission /var/db/transmission
# sysrc 'transmission_user=torrent'
#service transmission start

On the last command, transmission start, i get a weird return. it looks like this:

[root@transmission_1 /]# service transmission start
usage: chown [-fhvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] owner[:group] file ...
chown [-fhvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] :group file ...
Starting transmission.


Thank you in advance for all the help!! you guys are awesome!!

That output when starting the service is expected so don't worry about that. It looks like you did everything correct.

But... you have windows ACLs enabled on those folders so that's likely what is stopping transmission from writing.
