Still trying to get SMB Time Machine share to work

[Dano]

I have done a lot of reading of the threads on this but am still coming up confused. The permissions must be set incorrectly, as I get the message "You do not have permission to access this server". Only using smb shares. My plex share is working fine, although I think I only access those as a guest. Have the time machine share (TMDan) set with catia, fruit, ixnas, streams_xattr and the auxiliary share set as fruit:time machine = yes

I can see the shares when I connect via the "connect to server ip address" on my Mac and I can login with the username and password that I have set-up for that share to see the 2 smb shares (Media and TMDan), but it denies me access to open the shares. If I do connect as guest then I can access the Media share but not the TMDan share. Can someone guide me on the correct configuration of the permissions to get the Time Machine share to work?

Well, I configured mine as follows:

- create local user 'timemachine'
- create 1 ZFS dataset per Mac. Make it 'case insensitive'.
- create Windows (aka SMB) share. Use Windows ACL type, user = 'timemachine', group = 'nogroup', set permissions recursively
- of course turn the 'time machine' checkbox on
- VFS options: catia, fruit, stream_xattr, zfs_space, zfsacl (I don't use ixnas because it's documented to be beta)
- aux parameters: nfs4:mode = simple, strict sync = yes

Can't change the case sensitive to insensitive on the dataset I was using. I need to create a new dataset?
added the aux parameters as you indicated but I get the same message: you do not have permission to access this server

Case sensitive is probably fine, I was just telling you what worked for me.
