February 10, 20242 yr At some point I noticed that plex, jellyfin, and some other docker apps weren't working properly. I went through my troubleshooting routine and noticed that somehow all the folders in appdata had the owner changed to haldaemon for some reason. I was able to fix the issue by changing the owner and permissions back to nobody users, but was wondering if anyone has had this happen to them before or if anyone knew why this would happen?
February 10, 20242 yr Community Expert It is not the owner that is being changed to haldaemon from users , it is the group . The owner is being changed to 82 from nobody . The thing that I noticed is that the appdata directory in not in /mnt/user which is where I would expect it to be. Whether that is a problem, I am not sure. Perhaps, you have an explanation as to its present location. Often when we find these type of owner, group, and permission issues, it is a Docker (or, perhaps, a VM) that is the culpit. If a docker is to be writing to the Array, these variables should be defined as follows: PUID = 99 PGID = 100 UMASK = 000 PUID of 99 equates to nobody PGID of 100 equates to users UMASK = 000 sets full read/write permissions for directories and for files. Looking at the name of haldaemon you should be aware that a 'daemon' is a term that is given to a process that runs in the background. I would suspect that the 'hal' might give you a clue about where to look. Edited February 10, 20242 yr by Frank1940
