I am evaulating FreeNAS for a home NAS. I plan on using iSCSI, NFS and Windows Shares. However I cannot get the Windows Shares to work as follows:
Currently the NAS is running under VMWare with 3*200GB virtual disks as a single pool
Version of FreeNAS is 11.3-U2
Basic Config is to set up timezone, NTP etc and then join the domain
Active Directory
I have attached the NAS to the domain. Note that everytime the NAS is rebooted the domain join part is Faulted. I have to manually leave the domain and then rejoin for this to work. I believe this is a bug in U2
Basic Intentions
My basic intention is to have two pools of disks on a full build
Pool1 - a set of SSD's available to VMWare via iSCSI. Tested - seems to work beautifully
Pool2 - a set of bulk drives with SMB access & NFS access. Note that some areas will need to have both NFS & SMB access
Pool Creation
I create an initial pool called BulkPool with all three virtual disks. The defaults apply Raid-Z which I change to stripe for testing purposes (I have limited space available) and there is no data of any importance going here.
DataSet Creation
I create a dataSet in BulkPool called SMB, Keep default, but change Share Type to SMB
I create a dataset in BulkPool/SMB called TestFiles. Keep default, but change Share Type to SMB
I create a dataset in BulkPool called NFS. Keep default, Share Type Generic
I create a dataset in BulkPool/NFS called TInstall. Keep default. Share Type Generic
See BulkPool.jpg for results
Share Creation
I create a Windows Share with a mount point of /mnt/BulkPool/SMB(ACL)/TestFiles(ACL). Keep defaults
At this point browsing to the IP address of the server shows TestFiles, but I have no access - which seems reasonable
I edit ACL the Samba share TestFiles. Apply the group Domain/Domain Admins as per Samba.jpg. My windows login I am using has domain admin rights at this point
At this point I think I should have access to TestFiles from my windows client (Windows 10) - but nope. Windows complains that I have no access
What am I doing wrong? This all seems obvious to me - its just not working
I am assuming, but haven't tested yet that I can Samba Share the Install dataset and NFS Share the same dataset at the same time which I shall test after the current roadblock
