SMB Share from Windows Machine Help

[RockyX123]

I updated FreeNas to TrueNas Core (TrueNAS-13.0-U3.1) recently. I wasn't able to access my Pool on FreeNas either with the account I setup but at least I was able to do it via root through Windows Explorer before. It seems to be disabled now on the TrueNas version, which is fine. I really didn't want to have to use root for login but I can't get the users I created to access the SMB share.

I deleted my old users and set up a new user:

I created a new test Pool here with the following ACL:

The pool owner is the account rocky but to be even more explicit, I set up an ACL rule specifically for rocky to allow Full Control:

Next, I set up a SMB share path here:

with these settings:

and I had restarted the SMB service several times. The SMB service is enabled:

However, when mapping the testShare I cannot access the directory no matter what I do. I have tried it by IP, by domain (freenas.local), and I've tried using the freenas\rocky as the user.

I'm not sure what else to try. I followed all the steps in the tutorial here but to no avail:

How to Set Up Windows SMB Shares on FreeNAS

In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to set up an SMB share on your FreeNAS machine. To share data with Windows clients, FreeNAS uses CIFS, also known as SMB or Samba. SMB shares are also compatible with macOS offering great flexibility for client operating systems. Before you get...

@RockyX123 You could try checking the box: "Microsoft Account" for your user rocky.
Are you able to connect to the SMB share from a Linux machine (ubuntu for example?

Hey! I enabled Microsoft Account as you asked. Still no dice.

So I tried from Ubuntu as you asked:

It didn't work either (I tried many times with both rocky and root).

Why are you typing //192.168.1.254/testShare ? Your share is testshare (lowercase) right?

SOLVED - FreeNAS-11.3-U5 --> TrueNAS CORE 12.0-U4: Can't access to my SMB shares as "root" anymore... Can't access at all actually!

Hi, Titles have to be precise and explicit, so... Here it is: I used FreeNAS-11.3-U5 on a TrueNAS Mini XL+ (with some disks, volumes and configuration from a previous DIY NAS under FreeNAS too); I use my NAS only as a personal and local NAS with (forced) SMB(1) shares (for both Windows 10 &...

Access to SMB shares denied after update to FreeNAS 11.3

My previous setup (FreeNAS 11.2) had working SMB shares with Windows 10. After an update to FreeNAS 11.3 SMB shares partially stopped working. I'd be more than thankful, if anyone could help me

Perhaps take VMWare Workstation or Virtualbox to set up a fresh virtual truenas box to test your config

I thought the SMB would be case insensitive but just in case I tried 192.168.1.254/testshare as well, it didn't work. I'll look at the links you provided and see if they help, thanks! If not I'll post back again.

I figured it out. The user I set up, rocky, did not have permissions to the ROOT directory (Z). However I could not change permissions to the root of the pool, so I had to SSH and then add rocky to have execute permissions so he can traverse and THEN finally SMB worked...
