Hi there,
I'm new to FreeNAS, first post here :)
I just built a backup server machine using spare computer parts, and I installed FreeNAS on a thumb drive. So far all went very smoothly, and I really like the FreeNAS configuration interface. The main purpose of this machine is to do a regular backup from my 2 Windows 7 machines to the FreeNAS server, using rsync (and cygwin). I already had a successful rsync backup running on and to a dedicated Linux based d-link dns-323 NAS box before. With my FreeNAS system I run into the following problem: I have setup my zfs volume (problem is the same with ufs), set up a cifs share and set up the rsync service. I can access the shared volume in windows without a problem. When I manually copy things from windows to the shared volume everything is fine too. However, when I copy things to the shared folder using rsync, I can't access those files/folders from Windows, I get a permission denied... The rsync server in FreeNAS and my script in Windows are using my windows user name and password, which I also added to FreeNAS. The problem seems to clearly come from my rsync setup, but I can't figure out what it is... Any idea?
Thanks!
