NFS Share no longer working after upgrade from Core to Scale

[gobygoby]

Hello Everybody,

I have been using TrueNAS Core for several years and my NFS share was working great. I could access it from my Windows 10 Pro machine, and the transfer speeds were excellent. I avoided using SMB shares because they were slower and I kept having permission issues.

The only problem with Core was that Plex Hardware Transcoding was so hard to get working and keep working. I recently upgraded to Scale, and the Plex hardware transcoding started working immediately. Unfortunately, my NFS share no longer works and I cannot figure out how to fix it.

I've searched the forums, tried several suggestions I found there, but nothing has worked so far.

I think that maybe there is a problem with my dataset permissions:

but when I went to try other settings, I got a scary message and thought I should ask on the forums before making any changes:

Back when I had TrueNAS Core, I don't remember seeing all these "(false)" and "(off)" values, so perhaps I imported the pool incorrectly?

Does anyone know what the permission settings should be for a dataset that I intend to share over NFS?

Readonly was probably always true for all your datasets unless they are replicas of other ones. Dedup should almost always be off and is so by default... what's new there is those columns are shown in the view.

You just need to set and re-apply (recursively) the ACLs (probably the ones you already had).

I striped the ACLs and reapplied them but that did not help immediately.

I then tried lots of combinations of settings. I got some functionality with NSFv4 enabled, but it worked much better with it disabled.

Originally I was using Windows Explorer for my NFS share, but this time I tried a 3rd party program:

NFSClient

Download NFSClient for free. NFS Client for windows. NFSClient is an application for Microsoft Windows. It's an client for NFS server supporting protocols NFS 2, NFS 3 and NFS 4.1 It's written in C# language.

sourceforge.net

This was easier to use to test with since Windows kept asking for "Network Credentials" which I never got to work. Inside the program, there is even a button to map the NFS share as a network drive. This button didn't work with NSFv4 enabled, but when I went back to v3, it worked right away and I think this will solve all my NFS issues for the time being.

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions!
