PLEASE HELP! Share and folder permission issues

[Ash3000k]

Hi all,

Ive installed the fantastic FREENAS OS on a machine I have with a bunch of drives in and it mainly works great,

I have created a user called Ash and a volume called fArchive and set the permissions to:

/mnt/fARCHIVE

Apply Owner (user): yes
Owner (user): Ash

Apply Owner (group): yes
Owner (group): Ash

Apply Mode: yes
Mode:
Owner Group Other
Read
Write
Execute

Permission Type:

• Windows

Set permission recursively: NO


And in this volume I've made another of the same name (for some reason), with the same permissions,

I can map this drive fine, and have copied in a load of folders, but when I go to add something to one of the folders it says " You need permission to perform this action "

But I can add the files to the main share root no problem, its just when I try to add files to the folders it says I have to write access,

Please could someone tell me how to change these permissions on these folders?

I have tried to right click the folder, this then shows the following permissions:

Group / Usernames:
Everyone (has read only access)
webdav (has full access)

I have tried to change the 'Everyone' group to allow write but it says this error "unable to save permission changes on Movies, access is denied"

Hardware specs and freenas version are required for all posts.

I would start over. You changed the permissions of the root dataset which you should not do. You need to create a dataset for the data you want to share not use the root of your pool.

Hi, Ah sorry, hardware is HP z220 with i5 and 8GB ram, Freenas v11.0u1

I cant delete the data as I dont have a back up of any of it unfortunately

This sounds like a fresh install so i assumed there was no data. You should always test things out and learn to use them before trusting all your data to them.

Well you should start by changing the aclmode zfs property back to passthrough

Code:

zfs set aclmode=passthrough fARCHIVE

Then you need to set it back to root:wheel ownership and 755 permissions.
Lastly you will have to remove the acl's using setfacl(no clue what the actual command is).

Good luck and i suggest doing some more learning before moving forward.

Thanks, I tried to set the zfs but it came back with:

"cannot set property for fARCHIVE 'aclmode' must be one of the 'discard groupmask passthrough restricted
