NFS shares: files and folders owner:group

[NismoC32]

The files and folders shared from my FreeNAS server to clients get nobody/nobody as user and group owner for
files and folders. I cant change this from the client, I get: I don’t have permission to change them.

How do I set this up so I get the original user and group owner shown and
have the possibility to change them like I have on all the other NFS shares
from my qnap nas and my Gentoo fileserver ?

I need to be able to set the rights and owner of files and folders the same way I do a locally mounted storage.
Also I could not find a place to set nfs settings like: no_root_squash etc. in the GUI

PS: I have NFSv4 enables in the GUI and allow non root mount

Sounds like your datasets need real owners.

I'm not sure what you mean.

My Datasets has the following settings
ACL = Unix
User = "My username" Same as used on all my computers with UID 1000.
Group = "users" Same as used an all my computers with GID 100.
Permissions = 777

NFS Service settings:
No changes to any of the bind (IP/port) settings
Allow non root mounts = Enabled
Enable NFSv4 = Enables
The rest is disabled.

NFS Sharing settings:
Everything default (Empty)
Security = sys (Had to choose one here) not sure what "sys" implies though.

When I go to the NFS share on my Linux WorkStation and create a new folder it gets the following rights:
0775 nobody:nobody
I can change the Permissions but not owner or group of the folder,
the same goes for files. If I try I get this error message: "Invalid argument"
If I copy a file to the NFS share it changes the owner and group to nobody:nobody but the Permissions are kept.

I have no idea how to set it up to behave like I want:
Simpy put I want the NFS Share to behave like any other local folders/files on a Linux machine

Is this possible ? If so how do you go about doing it, what I'm I doing wrong.

Made some progress:
I managed to get files keeping their owner:group and Permission when I'm logged inn as root on my client PC
But as a user, the files get their group changed to that of the Dataset permission and the user is root (From mapall=root i guess) WHY!
I can however change the owner:group now as a user.

This is what I have changed:
mapall=root (Without this, users can't change owner:groups)
Enabled NFSv3 ownership model for NFSv4

It looks like it's impossible to get the NFS Share on FreeNAS to respect owner:group of file going in and out of
it's shares as a user (Please prov me wrong)

Can you please tell if you were able to fix the chown issues?

@Rae Brown It might be better if you created a new thread with a clear statement of what your problem is.
