Hi all,
After spending my entire weekend on this reading posts, docs and even trying some of the freenas alternatives, I'm posting here for the first time
While I've been running Freenas for years, I consider myself as an novice user since besides upgrading the version every once in a while I haven't really done anything with it.
My setup is a HP Microserver (Gen7 N54L) with 16GB of RAM & 2 x WD red 2TB in a raid 1 setup, Freenas version is FreeNAS-11.3-U3.2 .
I only use it as my home server, using CIFS shares, and running some VM's when I feel like testing something new.
My CIFS shares permission were always very open, i.e. guest have full control, as it's only me and my wife (technically only me) who are using it.
I have few laptop around the house, mainly win 10, but also one Ubuntu.
I believe it started after one of the more recent Freenas updates, but I don't seem to be able to access any of the CIFS share, I can see the shares but getting a permission denied error ( I created a specific user, I've tried using root user, I tried forcing guest, anything I could think of...)
I followed all the ixsystem guides, videos, etc. I even tried re-installing freenas from scratch (and importing the pool), nothing helps:-(
I've very frustrated to the point I'm considering buying another 2TB external drive and copy all the data of the freenas system (filezilla +sftp using the root user works).
Anything you can think of will help... I'm pretty lost... If needed,I don't mind losing configuration etc, I just want to be able to access my data via CIFS.
Thanks in advance!
