New user here.....
I recently install my first FreeNAS server to allow for share storage with my ESX hosts. I have been reading though all the threads on the subject. I am still confused on how the permissions work with NFS.
I have:
FreeNAS 9.10.2
ESX 5.5
I read the ESX only uses the root user to map to the NFS datastore. Which seems to work because I can map and browse the datastore from my ESX server.
My question is how does this relate to the actual file permissions I set up on the dataset. I created a local "vmware" users and set the permissions to it when I created the dataset. Can someone explain to me how these two things are related? I am trying to wrap my head around how NFS is working in this case.
