nfs mount issue cannot see files from freenas as root

[iliak]

i have an nfs mount, with root@wheel default permissions

after mounting from another computer (ubuntu 18.04) i have added files and folders
(all the other computer that have this mount can see the files)

the folder is under dataset

but i want to launch a script (from freenas) to delete old files, ( 1 week old on daily basis )
for some reason when i go to the mounted folder and do ls command most of them does not exist and not shown in ls command
from freenas as root i tried to access them via
/mnt/<pool>/<sharename>


update: removed the dataset and now it is working,
but i still want the dataset in order to limit size of the folder

How is your share defined? I suspect you are missing the "maproot" options.

Elliot Dierksen, Nope this is what i tried.
the issue exist only when there is a dataset set on the folder i am sharing

That's normal. NFS shares filesystems and a dataset is a filesystem. An NFS share will share just a single dataset, not any other datasets that happen to be mounted inside it.

is there are other way to share and limit storage size?

To limit storage size you use the quota feature.

 

[iliak]

how i can do it without datasets?

 

[SweetAndLow]

Directories don't have quota's only datasets do. You could just make a bunch of datasets. If you want directory quota's you need to start looking at Enterprise filesystem.
