Transmission Storage Setup & Permissions

[noodlesuk]

Hi All

I'm struggling to setup the storage and permissions for the Transmission plugin. I have followed this guide here

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp_pW-8Laro


It seems to be for an older version of FreeNAS, but thought the basic priniciples would be the same.

So I've setup a ZFS data set /mnt/transmission - (User - noodles / Group - wheel)

The 'jexec' command shown in the tutorial video doesn't seem to work in the main shell, It just echo's the correct usage. So instead I tried to execute the commands using the tranmission jail shell, is this correct?

I've then done the following at the transmission shell

mkdir /media/downloads
chown 1001:transmission /media/downloads

This works fine, but trying

chmod 775 /media/downloads

gives the following error

root@transmission_1:/ # chmod 775 /media/downloads
chmod: /media/downloads: Operation not permitted

Any help greatly appreciated.

Does adding a storage solve this: http://olddoc.freenas.org/index.php/Adding_Jails#Adding_Storage?

after struggling with this for many many days....i found the solution and here's what i followed...

• identify the transmission jail id with
  jls
  /usr/pbi/transmission-i386/etc/transmission/home
  
  http://download.freenas.org/plugins/9/x32/pbi-meta/pbi-repo.rpo
  
  create user with
  uid=921(transmission) gid=921(transmission) groups=921(transmission),0(wheel)
  
  mount the windows share as transmission user
  mount_smbfs -N -I 16.23.1.124 -u 921 -g 921 //16.23.1.124/sea_1tb /mnt/sea
  
  
• enter jail shell jexec <<1>> tcsh
• now identify the user and grp id of the user transmisison (id transmission)
• Outside the jail create user with same uid=921(transmission) gid=921(transmission) groups=921(transmission),
• mount the windows / smb share as the same uid as above
  mount_smbfs -N -I -u 921 -g 921 <<share>> <<mountpoint>>
  
  
• now follow the other jail instructions to add storage to this mount point inside the jail

hope this helps and i'm running freenas 9218
