SOLVED Sickbeard causing me to pull out my hair

[jimmmy]

Hey all,

Yes - I'm a first time NAS'r.

I have set up almost everything fine, it is all working (Plex, transmission etc...)

I can't for the life of me to get Sickbeard to let me write to a folder. Argh! Please help!

I am reallllly sick of seeing that message.

I have tried 'chown' and 'chmod' all over the place. I have both guest and media with full permissions.

I have looked all over the interwebs but no one else seems to have this problem!

I'm using FreeNAS 9.3 Beta.

:/ Please haaalp

can you post the output of "ls -l /media/TV\ Shows" from within the jail.

SickBeard by default runs as the "media" user, UID=816, so the folder needs to be writable by that user (or change users).

Hey there,

Yep - here it is:

total 231009
-rw-rw-rw- 1 1002 guest 6148 Nov 10 02:23 .DS_Store
drwxrwxrwx 2 1002 guest 16 Mar 7 2014 Attack on Titan

actually can I see it for /media too. I want to check if /media/TV Shows is writable by the 'media' user

I am having this same issue.... I have a feeling it has to do with ACLs but I only know enough to get myself into trouble...
Should I be concerned that I do not see a media user listed under accounts?
I under my raidz2 volume named 'stacked' I have a dataset named shows;
Sickbeard jail storage:
Source -> /mnt/stacked/shows
from freenas root:

Code:

[root@freenas] ~# ls -l /mnt/stacked/
total 1334
drwxrwxr-x+    3 nobody  nogroup     3 Dec  6 22:33 shows/

Destination -> /media/download
from sickbead jail;

Code:

root@sickbeard_1:/ # ls -l /media/
total 17
drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 2 Dec 7 13:28 download

Joshua already answered this question. You need to pay close attention to the uids involved!

The 'media' user doesn't exist in FreeNAS by default. Because, users between the FN host and jails aren't shared.

What I usually recommend is creating the 'media' user with the matching UID, but you can shave this cat many different ways.

That actually clears things up a lot. Its most certainly a permission issue. Thanks much!
