Having strange permissions problems. This is an full hardware upgrade running FreeNAS11.1-U5. The previous system worked great, but ran out of storage space. backed it up to the backups server, installed hardware, installed FreeNAS, set IP, loaded old config, deleted old zpool, created new zpool, copied data from Backups to this server. One share installed using SMB. No other users or shares needed, it's just me and the dog.
The System:
Users and fstab's
The client PC's connecting: Laptop and desktop both running Mint Linux KDE, Gaming rig running win10, HTPC running winxp. The normal user login/username across all machines is the same.
The symptoms.
Laptop (Mint). Root can read/write anywhere. non-root user, in a shell, can read/write everywhere. all shell scripts that access via normal non-root user appear to read/write fine. In Dolphin, the normal user can create and delete directories, but cannot create/write to files. In a browser (Firefox/Vivaldi), right-click on an image, click save, save fails. Writing this in Kate, save needs root privs, same for LibreOffice Writer.
All local file system read/writes are fine.
Desktop (Mint). Root user works fine. normal user can read, but cannot create anything. No directories or files can be created by the normal user.
HTPC (XP), can’t even login to map the share. Both regular user and root login return bad username/password. As soon as I enabled Guest access on the share, I can login (without a password), and read/write files.
Gamer (10), login as normal user, file read/write works normally.
The only thing I’ve done other than going through the server user config is to perform a
I’ve rebooted all boxen several times. Nothing has changed on the clients.
I’m not sure what to do next, I don’t have much more hair to pull out. :)
If I’ve missed any info please let me know and I’ll post it.
Cheers,
