Something still wrong with permissions

[billsey]

OK, back in the office today, tomorrow and Thursday. Still no writes allowed for anyone. I'm getting a lot of pressure to get this fixed, they've been unable to update any of the corporate shared data now for weeks. What can I do?

Your logs indicate that FreeNAS is unable to resolve SIDs to your unix group IDs. This is probably stopping your permissions from functioning properly. There was a recent bug fix regarding this. Try updating to latest.

and I may have found the solution (or at least a workaround)! In another thread there's mention of a performance improvement in accessing CIFS shares by disabling the DOS attributes. Since the issue we've been having shows the symptom "all files marked Read Only" I disabled the Read Only attribute with "map readonly = no". Almost immediately the files were no longer marked as Read Only and users could access them as expected. There's obviously something wrong with how DOS attributes are handled, but it's no longer an issue for me.

That's odd. You have "store dos attributes = yes", which should have automatically disabled "map read only". Since you are in the process of disabling such things, try the following parameters:

Code:

store dos attributes = no
ea support = no
map archive = no
map hidden = no
map system = no
map readonly = no

Those parameters should improve directory browsing performance.
