I have been trying to get my shares assessable from my mac for a little while (they are assessable through Windows via parallels), and it is giving me fits.  When I look at the user shares through the unraid GUI they are identical, when I telnet into the server, the permissions seem different, which is the issue I assume.  I have been attempting to use chmod to fix the permissions, but I seem to lack the linux skills to do it right!

 

Here is what the telnet permissions show me:

root@Tower:/mnt/disk2# ls -lg                                       

total 6

 

drwxrwx--- 23 users 1728 Oct 30 15:11 Movies

drwxrwx--- 18 users 1016 Oct 17 19:48 Tivo Media

drwx------ 37 users 1352 Oct 31 09:41 TowerDropbox

 

Movies and Tivo Media are assessable, but TowerDropbox is not, Mac give me the error message:

The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “TowerDropbox” can’t be found.

 

I can read and write to 'TowerDropbox' and access it without issue on my window session using parallels.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

 

 

the linux file permissions are not being set by UnRAID - only the SMB share permissions are. The file permissions indicate the access for the owner, the group and everyone else. Since the TowerDropbox share has no permissions to be accessed by the group, only the owner; unless the directory is owned by the samba user you are connecting with, you're out of luck.

 

chmod the dir to add group permissions with this:

chmod g+rwx TowerDropbox

 

You can use the octate format as well, but this format is easier for chmod newbies

That worked, thanks! I think I was on their right track, but missing a / or something! I am gonna read up some more, as I have a few more shares with permission issues I need to remedy.

 

Thanks again!
