Hello,
We have been using FreeNAS on our campus for a few years now and I must say, it's a great storage solution. Better than many commercial offerings!
However one issue came up when we had to migrate a Windows server to FreeNAS on an emergency basis (the windows server crashed). The samba config on FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 (561f0d7a1) does not assign default permissions as expected.
Here is a portion of an automated script that creates many folders and assigns permissions. Snip:
Here are the resulting permissions on the folder created on a share hosted a Windows server :
and same thing on a FreeNAS server:
FreeNAS seems to be adding inherited permissions. I also tested the script on a share mounted on a Fedora 26 server configured with Samba using a default configuration and winbind for account mapping. The share was mapped to an XFS partition and using acl_xattr VFS module to store permissions. The result on the linux server was the same as in Windows.
What could be causing this?
