So my question in full is...
How do I give windows 8.1 full access to my CIFS share, when files within that share have specific user permissions?
I'm running the Mylar comic book plugin as media:media (UID 816) and when it post processes new comic books, it assigns permissions for the user 'media'
Unfortunately, I cannot open those comics, in a comic book reader from a windows machine.
A quick fix is applying 777 permissions to the data set, but obviously the problem re-occurs the second a new comic is post processed.
What is preventing Windows from opening those files with the user 'media' and how do I circumvent it?
I tried telling CIFS that the guest user is 'media' but this prevented the CIFS service from staring.
I also looked at adding my windows login as a user, however since I use a Microsoft email address login in Window 8.1, the user name is too long for Freenas to accept as a new user.
I'm quite sure there is a simple solution to this, but I can't see the wood for the trees ;)
