December 24, 20205 yr I cannot for the life of me understand why unraid keeps changing my folder permissions from Quote drwxrwxrwx+ 1 nobody users to Quote drwxrwx---+ 1 nobody users At first i though this was due to rsync being run with faulty flags but it appears it just happened when i was experimenting accessing a folder from windows via SMB and no rsync was ran. Here's exactly what i did. 1. I SSH into my unraid, go to /mnt/user/Backup 2. I check folder permissions within /mnt/user/Backup using ls -l They come out like this: I see that "Other Backup" drwxrwxrwx. 3. I use my windows machine and put UNC path into run \\NAS\Backup\Other Backup\ 4. Once inside the folder with explorer i attempt to create a new folder, i get permissions denied. 5. I Now try to refresh the \\NAS\Backup\Other Backup\ path but i get permission denied. 6. I open my SSH terminal once more and do ls -l and now the "Other Backup" folder has permission drwxrwx---+ and i can no longer access it: What exactly could be causing this? Its driving me nuts because the backups fail to run whenever this happens, is it a particular bug in 6.7.2 that went unpatched or what is causing this? It keeps happening at complete random and now i am 100% certain it has nothing to do with the rsync scripts, it also happens when i access via smb. Please help, it has been causing me issues for over 3 months, it only happens to folders, file permissions remain.
December 24, 20205 yr Not sure what is going wrong in your case. I notice in your screenshots there is a "+" after their permissions which suggests there are some additional special access permissions such as ACL. Are you possibly using Active Directory on your SMB connection?

Are you possibly using Active Directory on your SMB connection? No active directory, but i have setup the same credential user/pass for my windows user on this computer as on the unraid installation and given that user permission to the share, the shares configuration is "Private" with Read/Write access to my specific windows user. All ideas welcome.
March 13, 20215 yr Same problem here, is there any solution? I even reinstalled unraid and still have this problem.
March 13, 20215 yr If you want public access then set the shares to be public instead of private in SMB security settings.
