I don't seem to ever get how permissions on FreeNAS works. Upgraded to 11.2 RC2 from 11.1 U6 now. Hoping anyone here can give me the missing piece for me to understand it, and help me check what permission/step needs to be checked.
I want to set up Resilio Sync from scratch. I have two mirrored pools, one with backup stuff, one with media. (/mnt/tank2/backup and /mnt/tank/media).
Both these locations are set up with SMB shares.
I have two users and groups, media and backup, and i THINK they have access to the data, but I'm just not sure how.
I do have a user "gamer" that I added to the group backup and media, and that lets me access those shares on my Windows computer.
What I did: Install Resilio Sync, stopped it
Added mount point /mnt/tank2/backup to /mnt/tank/iocage/jails/btsync/root/mnt/backup - this allowed me to browse the files on the share, but I was not able to add it as sync folder, permission denied.
Added a new user rslsync, I found that user inside the /mnt/tank/iocage/jails/btsync/etc/passwd file.
User got: User ID 817, Primary Group: backup. Auxiliary Groups: "backup, share", Home directory: /nonexistent.
On the ckeckboxes in the UI for Read - Write - Execute I am not able to add "Write" to "Group", but I guess that is access for the Home Directory?
Restarted Resilio Sync
Still not able to add a sync folder inside /mnt/backup. "No write access to folder".
