[SMB private read/write working, just can't paste folders (only files)]

sounds like smb issues, i had these too, i fixed them by modifying the smb configuration on unraid:

 

in settings > smb > smb extra configurations added:

force create mode = 0666
force directory mode = 0777
force user = nobody
force group = users
create mask = 0666

 

These will make sure all files/folders created via smb on unraid no matter what user is making them it ends up with permissions and owner nobody:user which is how unraid likes to operate.

 

Since you had smb issues chance is a lot of files have weird permissions, you might wanna run Tools > New Permissions on all your shares after adding that to your smb configuration, then all files will have the correct permissions and all new files created via smb will also have the correct permissions going foward.

 

 

Thanks This fixed my SMB file permission issues. Are there any down sides to doing this forced setting this? Private shared are no longer private etc...

In theory, the Permission fix tool is only for users who have upgraded from 4.x to 5.x or 6.x and only needs to be run once

 

In practice, a number of users have misconfigured a docker container that when it writes file(s) to a user share does not the file appropriate permissions (they'll apply 0700 or 0600) which means that only the applicable user will ever have access to the file - in this case the user "nobody" which doesn't even exist.  The tool is then used on a regular basis by those people to fix the problem, instead of simply telling the app to write the file(s) with correct permissions

 

Hi Squid,

 

You mentioend that users have misconfigured containers. I run mine direct from trhe devleopers on Community apps as such i am not aware of any special way to run them coudl you provide any guidance or point me to docuemtnation that I can look at to help me make those required changes? Much appreciated!
