Problem with permissions in windows
New to FreeNAS and UNIX
I built a freeness server using a Dell Compaq Pro 6000 SFF
It has 16 gig of ddr2
I have installed 2 WD red 6 TB drives running at the recommended (by FREENAS) configuration which is mirrored. (I believe that is RAID 1)
Everything seemed to be working just fine then I updated from FreeNAS 11.3 U1 to 11.3 U2.
Now I am unable to edit or delete files that were created before the update. In some folders I can create/edit/save files but in others I am unable to do so.
I’ve been searching the forums and internet for a couple of days now and can’t find a solution. My current thought is to wipe the hard disk and start over.
For instance I have a file \NAS\Backups\T3500-FULL\D\Steam\Steam\cached\steamui_postlogon_brazilian.txt. This file was created on 4/1/2020 as part of a full backup I am unable to edit/rename/delete this file. When I attempt to delete it I receive a message “You require permission from FREENAS\nobody to make changes to this file”.
However I am able to edit \NAS\Backups\T3500001\D\Steam\Steam\cached\steamui_postlogon_brazilian.txt. This file was created on 4/18/2020 as part of an incremental backup. This is just a random text file I decided to play with. This file is much deeper in the directory tree than the one I cannot delete or edit.
It seems to me if I have permission to edit the file deeper in the tree structure I should have permission to edit the one only 2 levels down. The main difference I see is the date. I updated FREENAS on 4/12/2020.
SO the question is: How do I get my permissions set back to where they allow me to edit/append all of my files.
As an added note I copied the Backups folder to a new folder names Backups Temp on 4/16/2020. I added a new text document to that directory on 4/17/2020 but today I can’t and a new file.
Thanks in advance for any help.
