I've done hours of reading and research and am stumped for the moment on the following issue. I've done my best to ensure everything is setup correctly, but am still having a problem...
I reinstalled Transmission after upgrading to 9.3 and am having this problem after remapping some permissions such that my windows account can see the files transmission creates...
Transmission worked fine before I upgraded/reinstalled, but I am setting more granular access/security settings this time around (nouser:nogroup and 'Everyone' don't make me feel very secure...)
Datasets/directories:
The dataset is /mnt/tank/media.
The datatset owner:group is SkyMonkey:media_access.
The dataset contains a /torrents directory with subdirectories /Incoming and /Completed.
/media/torrents is mapped to /mnt/ inside the jail.
Users/groups:
The transmission user inside the jail is 921:921, and a transmission user:group exists outside the jail with this uid:gid
The transmission user inside the jail is also in a group called 'ext_access' with gid 1007
There is a group outside the jail called torrent_access with gid 1007.
The transmission user outside the jail is in the torrent_acesss group outside the jail.
The /media/torrents directory is owned by SkyMonkey:torrents_access
SkyMonkey is in groups media_access and torrents_access among others.
Transmission Options:
Transmission is set to set completed downloads to 777, and has download/incomplete directories mapped to /mnt/Completed and /mnt/Incoming.
Windows/CIFS settings:
/media is shared out via CIFS. I log into the network via a computer with the SkyMonkey credentials.
Windows security on /media/Torrents (and subdirectories /Incoming and /Complete) shows the torrent_access and SkyMonkey group/users with full control.
Transmission downloads fine, and can move files downloaded from incoming to complete.
The issue:
SkyMonkey cannot see these files in Windows! They are visible when logged into the server via ssh as root, and have what seem to be correct permissions, but are not being created with 777 as specified by transmission:
For example, inside media/Torrrents/Completed after downloading test_torrent:
They are clearly not being created with 777 permissions shown above, though even both the unix and windows ACLs seem to indicate that at least SkyMonkey should be able to see them since he's in the torrent_access group...
During this process I noticed that the /Completed and /Incoming directories group owner was originally media_access (as I had created them a long time ago before torrent_access existed. I used chown to change the group owner since I cannot do this through windows to my knowledge. It made no change to the results.
I'd love some help/advice chasing this down....
