Change permissions via API

[onlyanegg]

Hi,
I'm trying to change permissions on a dataset using the API and I'm having trouble. I'm getting a '201 CREATED' response from the server, but the permissions don't change. Can anyone help me? Is this a bug?
Here's the request in python:

r = requests.put("freenasServer/api/v1.0/storage/permission/",

auth = ( "root", self._password ),
headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
verify = False,
data = json.dumps({ "mp_path": "/mnt/myVolume/users/home1/apiTest",

"mp_acl": "unix",
"mp_mode": "755",
"mp_user": "myUser",
"mp_group": myGroup" })​

)

Note that the server name should have an h++p protocol prefix, but this forum wont let me post anything that looks remotely like a url. #sneakyurls

Were you able to figure this out?

Not yet. I was gunna bump it today. I think I'll file a bug report, and I'll be sure to update the thread if it gets resolved.

I traced freenas's manage.py process while trying to change permissions via the API. I got like 11,000 lines of kernel calls back, so I'll post them below... just kidding. I found some here that seem to be relevant. I can't be sure that all of these calls are from my API call, because this process is pretty talkative. Can anyone help me figure this out? In particular, what is it doing when it tries to access the .windows and .mac files? And why isn't there a similar call for the directory (/mnt/datapool/users/home1/apiTest)? Shouldn't there be a chown call somewhere?
