I accidentally reinstalled couchpotato using "root" instead of "nobody".  Just caught this when I woke up today when I tried to delete a file and got an error.  How do you update the directory so that everything has "nobody" permissions?

Yeah!  I figured it out after about an hour of googling (linux noob).  For reference:

 

Update the owner/group for files.

 

ls -al  'lists all the files and permissions in the directory

 

chown [OPTION] [OWNER:GROUP]

 

For example:

chown -R nobody:users /mnt/user/Movies  'This would update the directory to have owner being nobody and the group being users for all directories and files.

You could also use

newperms  /mnt/user/Movies 

to set the path and its contents to the permissions unRAID expects.  This might be easier to remember!

What do you mean by "what unRAID expects"?  This is share that sab, couch and sb feed to.  Still learning the ropes here of linux.

newperms will set correct permissions and owner/group.
