My idea was to set up an Ubuntu VM on my TrueNAS CORE 12.0-U1 box running Docker and use a share for all the persistent data. This will have many benefits like snapshots and easy access to the data. Very soon I realized that it is not as easy as it looks. Containers really often want to set...

I've had a particular share working for over a year at this point that has a slightly non-standard configuration. I've setup a share called scans that has a default user and group of printer and scanners respectively and shows the following ACLs on the FreeNAS system: ```...

Hi community, I'm using FreeNAS to share a directory over Samba to an amd64 device where a dockerized rTorrent instance is running. rTorrent uses this share to either store downloaded or temporary files. When it's uploading (hence reading from the NAS) many files, the samba server close the...

Hello. I have this server that I plan to make it a storage server for 2-3 other servers and mount shares from it with CIFS/SAMBA. I didn't yet decided if I will run FreeNas or is better to install Centos/Ubuntu and manually configure shares... Would this next scenario work ? Should I expect...

Hello all, I'm facing an issue that I don't know if it's normal or not, and Google didn't give me any good results. If I copy a file from my NAS, I get around 115MB/s via Gigabit Ethernet, fine for me. However, if I try to watch a movie from the server (with a bitrate of 200Mb/s - megabits)...

With Ubuntu Client 16.04 and Server 14.04 it was possible to view and create symbolic links via SMB1 protocol on the server. Due to security reasons SMB2 is demanded in FreeNAS 11.2 and creating symbolic links result in error message: "Operation not supported on transport endpoint". What I have...

Probably it was not a good idea what I have done ... :rolleyes: ... (on FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE-U1). My intention is having different Snapshot tasks on nested datasets. I added several datasets as you see in the picture below. All kept their default settings. Then I shared data-private and...

Why it has to be so difficult to properly set up a share on FreeNAS? Both on OMV and XPEnology it's as easy as checking a box :| I really want to use FreeNAS and this is the setup I'd like to achieve: X shares of this kind: every share of this group can be accessed (read/write) only by the...

I thought I would post this problem and solution in case someone else ran into the same problem as me. I use autofs on some of my linux client machines to automatically mount cifs shares hosted on my freenas box. Under 11.1-U6, the NT1 protocol was disabled and what this meant was that my autofs...

Hi folks, Let me pretense this post by saying, I think this is a Synology issue and not a FreeNas One. However, as we are migrating away from Synology and onto a FreeNAS box I wanted to see if the community could help me out :) I have built my FreeNas Box and everything looks great, I can...

I am able to connect to a guest share without a problem from linux but am unable to authenticate to a authenticated share. I have tried the following commands: mount -t cifs -o guest //nas/temp /mountest <-- This one works as this temp share I created is open to guest mount -t cifs -o...

Currently we have two CIFS shares that everybody can access and now I have to configure it so that one of them can only be accessed with a password. I didn't do the initial setup and don't have much experience with freenas and samba. So I read a bit of the documentation and some forum posts on...

Some required info first. I am running FreeNAS-11.1-U4, on an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor, with 12247 MB of Ram. The system is running baremetal. (aka not virtualized). Attempting to remove a volume and reading what FreeNAS tells me very carefully, I get the message ATTENTION -...

I'm having problems mounting CIFS shares in Rancher. I create the YAML file and merge it into the config. Then, I reboot the Rancher VM. I can then browse the mount point. Then, I reboot the VM again to test the persistence and the share is not mounted. In the SAMBA log on my FreeNAS...

Hello there ~ Freenas: FreeBSD SUPERNAS.local.chefclub.tools 11.1-STABLE FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE #0 45cac2c77(freenas/11-stable) Samba: Version 4.7.3 I am a bit lost having 0 expertise in Windows. I have a samba4 running on an other server acting as our domain controller. On mac `username/pass`...

Hallo, ich verzweifele noch mit meiner Freenas (11.1-U2). Ich kann mich per IP und SMB verbinden, aber meine Mediaserver sehen die NAS nicht. Ich habe die Freenas umbenannt von freenas.local nach freenas.workgroup. Wenn ich sie aber anpinge, dann antwortet weiterhin nur freenas.local!!! Als...

Can't start the CIFS service, cannot access folders from Windows. 6TB volume is relatively full, about 170GB free space, not sure if this is related. Please advise. FreeNAS-9.10.1 From the shell: [root@NAS ~]# /usr/local/sbin/smbd --interactive --debuglevel=3 smbd version...

Hi, I'm looking to share a dataset from my FreeNAS 11.1 server to my Mac and Ubuntu machines, I currently have no Windows machines and don't plan to, at least for the foreseeable future. From reading around a bit, I think an SMB share is my best option. I tried setting up a dataset with "share...

Hi all, We are having an issue that has appeared since updating from 11.0 U3 to 11.1. I am unsure whether this is a FreeNAS issue or if its an issue on the Windows side, cause you know, Windows. The situation is this: Go into the FreeNAS SMB share using windows explorer, right click...

Hey everyone, So a while back I created a Windows share on my FreeNAS machine by following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxggaE935PM Everything went well and the share with all its permissions and what not worked great. So I left my NAS alone for a bit, until now. Today I...

I recently upgraded from 9.10 to 11.1-RELEASE. Everything seemed to be going fine until the first scrub began at 10:00 on Monday 12/25. Later that evening, I attempted to copy some files to the SMB share and after a few gigabytes were transferred, SMB went offline. The web interface was also...

I thought I understood shares, but this has bamboozled me. I set up a home server about a year ago and the shares are all working fine - exactly as expected. So I set up a Linux machine and try and connect it to what (I think) are the shares on Freenas. It turns out that the /mnt folder has...

I have this problem for a while but after upgrade to 11.1 this went to extremes. I have setup Proxmox with several VMs, most of them small 5-20 GB, but one of them little over 160 GB. For a few months I experienced weird slow downs of the Proxmox server while making backups to FreeNAS but in...

I'm looking for the best fstab options for mounting CIFS to Linux Mint 18.2 (Ubuntu/Debian) with the highest security and performance. I noticed that the default mounting only worked when I set the minimum share level to LANMAN but hours later I was able to mount SMB2/3 by adding the "vers=3.0"...

I use FreeNAS as my file server for all of my WIN PC's. When transferring files to the FreeNAS in windows, at some point i get an "Access Denied" screen stating "you need permission to perform this action". Now, I have permission to do that, i am the Administrator User, and the files aren't...

First I will say my home setup is a bit overkill but mostly i use it as a lab which is why i have some of these machines/services. I had my freenas box up and running perfectly, or at least for a newbie it was. My domain controller recently had a hardware failure and bombed out which happened...

Hello. I have updated my freenas machine to FreeNas 11 mainly because the new VM support. But after updating im unable to access SMB share. My domain controller is an old W2k3 server and i think this could be the reason. I tried adding ntlm auth = true aux parameter to SMB service but didnt...

Hi Guys, My first freenas install, so go easy on me! Simple setup (don't they all say that?!), standalone samba server, followed the instructions to create volume, dataset, user, group, and CIFS share. I can mount it from an ubuntu client, with the username/passwd OK. I also have samba on that...

First off. Let start by saying that I have read and read and read some more on how to set up permissions in CIFS and I still can't seem to get this to work. I've worked through multiple problems and gone from having absolutely nothing working to 'almost' having everything sorted. I just can't...

Hello everyone I need a little help here :). I will try to be as detailed as I can and stick to the guidelines in the before you post page. Current setup: 1X Windows 7 Desktop, 1X Netgear GBE Switch. 1X HP N40L The N40L is running the latest Freenas release FreeNAS-11.0-U2 (e417d8aa5) 8gig...

Hi, So I have set up Active Directory on my Freenas box and now I can't access the share I used to have. I tried to set up a new dataset from scratch and I can't access that, either. ZFS dataset permissions have an AD user as the owner and DOMAIN\Domain Users as group. Nothing I do seems to...

Bom dia! Tenho um FreeNAS-9.2.1.8 com serviço de diretório configurado com um servidor LDPA, com as permissões de dataset apontadas para a base LDAP. Utilizo o CIFS para realizar o compartilhamento. Pois bem, eu consigo visualizar e acessar os diretórios, tanto do ubuntu16 (ldap client)...

EDIT: Final Solution in my last post in the thread. TL;DR: OpenVPN worked instead, quick guide included. Original: Hey ya'll, I've been looking into how to remotely mount my CIFS shares over SSH, and have been running into some issues. From what I've been able to see, from both the...

I am running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201512121950 I am having an odd issue with a Windows CIFS share on my box, where it is not allowing me to change any Windows permissions and give everyone access to the CIFS share. Every time I go to change anything or delete any files, it gives me the message...

Hi All, I am really enjoying iohyve on my FreeNAS 9.10 system. I've now got 3 VMs, all running Debian Jesse, working like a charm. I'm slowly migrating my services which were once hosted on jails / plugins into Docker containers on my VMs. I'm so impressed with how straight forward it has been...

Hi All iv run out of space on my freenas system so have decided to move some files( not so important) to my windows machine. Ive shared the folder on the windows machine but for the life of me i cannot access it from inside the jail. # mount_smbfs -N -L 192.168.1.6...

Hey people. I'm not happy with how my CIFS permissions/owners were set up and would like to start again, without wiping the whole system or removing data. System is Asrock 2750 with 8x4TBWDReds, 16GB ECC, running FreeNAS-9.10.2-U2. ~50% utilized. Owner user is Root and owner group is...

Hi...I'm trying to setup VM Storage of Hyper-V on CIFS Share on FreeNAS-9.10.2-U3 (e1497f269), but I'm receiving this error on moving my machines from Local HD to CIFS Share (P:\): Remote SMB share does not support resiliency I tried to select Maximum SMB Protocol to SMB_3_11, SMB_3, SMB2_02...

Hi, For some reason the dropdown menu's in the GUI show duplicates (in small letters) of a couple of my datasets. Earlier I had the problem that the files in my datasets wouldn't show (could map the drive, open the folder and just saw the json config file). An extra complication is that I...

Hey all So I have a jail deluge which has 2 mounts media (CIFS) and deluge_data. I'm using FileBotTool plugin in deluge to create a symlink from /mnt/deluge_data/completed/movies/Totally Cool/totallycool.mkv to /mnt/media/share1/Movies/Totally Cool (2017)/Totally Cool.mkv When browsing as...

Hi All I am running a very stable 9.10-STABLE with CIFS Shares, UEFI Windows VMs using IOHYVE and Active Directory access on a local domain the Domain Controller for which I have full access to and have not modified since I installed 9.10-STABLE. I have tried each of the recommended updates as...

Hey everyone. So I'm trying to add a group that I made in the FreeNAS WebGUI to my list of permissions but when I try to search for the group, I can't find it. Here's a picture of the issue... I'm currently running FreeNAS-9.2.1.5-RELEASE-x64 (80c1d35) and I'm working with a Windows CIFS...

Hi all, I've been digging through resources for days-- google, the forum search, and rewatched m0nkey_'s awesome vids once more to make sure I didn't miss the bit I'm after--to no avail. Scenario: FreeNAS 9.10.2 U2. I have a Windows VM that I'm successfully able to access a shared CIFS/SMB...

Hi All, I can't quite find the answer to this question. Trying to find out what's the best way to go. Your wisdom is appreciated. I've had various different NAS boxes in the past with tons of different issues getting SMB and domain permissions to be respected. Thus the idea of setting up...

Hi - for the last few days I've been having issues with my mounted shared drive not showing in Windows 10. I'm not able to establish whether the root cause of this issue is within my local PC, or the FreeNAS server configuration so would appreciate if anyone could provide a few basic steps that...

Hello, We are running 9.3. I selected a 'periodic snapshot task' in the advanced section for a CIFS share late tonight at the office, after everyone had left for the day. I did not necessarily want it permanently but I did want to see how it presented itself in windows explorer. While I...

Hello, we are using samba for sharing on FreeNAS 9.10.2-U1 and are encountering problems with the encoding. On windows everything shows fine, but on FreeNAS and Ubuntu the file and directory names are different. We use a special sign (middle dot) sometimes which seem problematic: I am...

I had a CIFS share on 9.3. Permissions over the files inside this share are controlled by windows server controller domain. Everything was working fine until i decide to update to 9.10. System reboots and when i try to access the share (not even the, also de host) a login promt appears and no...
