Hi All,
I completed my first FreeNAS build a few months ago. Since then I've been experimenting with it's capabilities. It's a powerful OS [much more capable than my QNAP TS-410]. However, I'm struggling with an intermittent issue with, what I believe is user authentication and access from Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.
My system is setup with ten drives organised as follows:
* 2 x 1Tb WD Red in Mirror [vdev1];
* 8 x 3Tb WD Red in RaidZ2 [vdev2]
Both vdev's are shared using CIFS as follows:
* vdev1 is shared as 'Documents';
* vdev2 is shared as 'Media'
Occasionally [it's infrequent but annoying when it does occur] I'll lose access to one or both of the shares. Sometimes turning CIFS off and back on again works [but not always]. Other times it seems to sort itself out somehow. At one point I identified a continuing loss of mapped drives to a setting in Bitdefender.
The issue reoccurred last night and it's preventing me from fully committing all my data, movies etc. to the server.
Currently, when I attempt to access the 'Documents' share, Windows asks me to login and presents me with the Windows Security dialog [refer attached screenshot]. Entering my password does not appear to work as I am, shortly after, presented with the Open Folder dialog box [refer attached picture]. However, accessing the 'Media' share is not a problem and I haven't been requested to login since the share was first created and users assigned.
The security settings, within FreeNAS, for both shares are the same [screenshots of both are attached]. I based them on M0nkey's YouTube video on setting permissions in YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxggaE935PM]
I've read what the Open Folder dialog box has to say about multiple connections but I'm not sure how to put this into context nor check if it is what is causing the issue.
There are other oddities such as iTunes copying TV shows into the appropriate folder but refusing to copy movies. However, I can create folders from Windows Explorer. Again, security settings for both folders are the same.
In this instance of this issue I have i) attempted to cycle CIFS; ii) reset my password; iii) reapplied user permissions; iv) reset the Owner group. All to no avail.
I'm not sure whether this is a FreeNAS or Windows/CIFS issue. Would appreciate any assistance or advice in attempting to isolate and resolve the issue.
