I upgraded to 11.2 recently and created a new jail, to house a self-installed Plex instance.
I gave it one mount, to a parent directory which internally has the folders set up as desired.
FreeNas mount location: /mnt/OnePower/saidar (saidar is a child datastore of the root datastore OnePower).
Jail mount location: /media/plex-data
I have created a user with the same UID in FreeNAS as the service user who needs to be able to see the files
The Freenas User has an auxiliary group membership as follows
The mediaGroup is group owner on the /mnt/OnePower dataset, and the /mnt/OnePower/saidar dataset, and the files inside them
root@nas:/mnt/OnePower/saidar # ls -l
total 204
drwxrwxr-x+ 45 windows mediaGroup 46 Jul 31 13:50 air
root@nas:/mnt/OnePower/saidar/air # ls -l
total 260762
drwxrwxr-x+ 3 windows mediaGroup 3 Jun 24 2017 SomeFolder
The extended windows type permissions for Windows permissions are that 'Everyone' has read & execute; list and read permissions; and the other user groups (which aren't involved in this) have full access.
Given this, I would expect that the Plex user inside the jail should be able to see /media/plex-data/air/SomeFolder and all. the files inside SomeFolder
Instead what is the case is that it can see /media/plex-data/air exists.... except it lists /media/plex-data/air as empty and it cannot see any files nor folders inside 'air'
Has anyone got any clue what might be wrong with my permissions here, that mean that no user inside the jail can see the folders or files inside 'air', when they can see the folders and files directly inside /media/plex-data?
