I've read a number of posts on this subject but can't work out what I should be doing to fix this.
I have Plex running in a jail, transferred from the plugin version, set up as described here. My media files are split across two volumes, volume_1/Media and volume_2/Media: first one has TV, music and photos, second has movies. Each volume has a Media folder: the Plex jail has the first mapped to /media and the second to /media/Movies. Plex is working normally with the vol1 dataset (TV shows are recorded successfully) but every time I tell it to record a movie to the vol2 dataset, it immediately fails saying it has no write access to the destination.
Both Media datasets have root and wheel as owner and group. Permission type is Unix, with all of the mode boxes ticked. I have repeatedly tried to update the permissions on the affected volume_2/Media dataset (which then contains a Movies folder) with the recursive permissions box ticked but it seems to make no difference.
I don't have a Plex user account set up: I don't recall exactly why this is, or whether it was a deliberate choice by me or by the installation process (sorry). I have successfully recorded many films to the current vol2/Media/Movies folder, but not for at least a month. I did recently update FreeNAS from 11.1-U6 (or possibly -U7) to 11.2 but I don't know if the current problem predates or postdates that update.
I have had to repeatedly change the permissions on several of the datasets in the past, as users/groups (both remote computers and the Plex server) lost write access to them in the past, but recursively setting the permissions (to the same as they were actually showing at the time) seemed to fix it. This time, though the affected dataset is showing all permissions set except for Other-Write, it isn't accepting the permission changes I'm trying to make: I have tried and failed to both recursively set the unticked box and recursively clear all of the ticked boxes. I can, however, change the group owner. Regardless of the permission settings, I'm still able to create and delete both folders and files in the Movies dataset from my Win 10 machines, whose users are in a group I set up called Shares.
I've also tried using chmod to change permissions for the volume_2/Media/Movies folder from the command line with the same lack of success. Can anyone please suggest where I might be going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
