Dear all,
I am currently recovering from a fatal error (non-ECC RAM) and am now trying to setup FreeNAS 9.2.1.8 from scratch. I started with FreeNAS 9.2.1.3 and set up all permissions, user accounts, groups etc. according to some simplified instruction easily found here in the forum and on the net. Everything was working fine with these tutorials.
This time nothing works. What I try to do: Setting up some user, incl. one admin account, all with their own home directory (ZFS datasets); some shares which I want to share among all users (ZFS datasets with a second layer of datasets), some shares which I want to restrict access to (some of the second layer datasets). I want to share it exclusivly to Windows hosts (Win7 and Win8.1) and via miniDLNA our TV.
Basically what happens: I have access on everything or I have access on nothing. I can't limit any permission below that.
What is kind of funny: When I change any permission with a check-box (these nine check-boxes representing rwx for Owner/ Group/ Other) they are not saved! Next time I open it everything is checked again except the "write/ other" (so actually the full standard setting).
I am pretty sure that this behaviour is not correct but I am absolutly stuck and don't know to go on.
I'd be very happy about an answer 'cause I spend already a hole night with searching the forum and Google.
Thank you very much in adavane!
Edit: Ah, I didn't get it yet but I have another clue: From the line "freenas notifier: chmod: ... Operation not permitted" I was able to Google to an answer that most likely Smaba4 is the root cause and all the changes coming with it.
Maybe I have to go back to FreeNAS 9.2.1.3 if there is no easy way to set up these kind of permissions as I didn't find any tutorial on this yet. Hmpf!
Edit2: Oh, Samba4 is active much longer ... I guess my previous thought is just wrong.
