I just upgraded from unRAID 4.7 to 5.0.5.

 

I have a disk that I have been mounting and sharing outside of the array.  However, after the upgrade, the permissions may not be correct because I cannot access some directories or files.  I think the New Permissions utility ignored this non-array disk.  How can I perform the same function on this non-array disk?

 

I have executed the following command on the disk to match that of the New Permissions utility:

chown -R nobody:users .

 

Now how would I recursively change the directories to drwxrwxrwx and the files to -rw-rw-rw-?

 

I have also modified the smb-extra.conf file to to set the mask as follows:

create mask = 0666
directory mask = 0777

 

Is this correct for a Public share?

You can run the newperms utility from the command line and specify the directory.  For example:

newperms /path/to/mounted/drive/

If you are curious, you can also view the newperms script to see the chmod command.

Thanks.

 

I did not know there was a newperms script.  I will definitely give it a try.

 

Edit:

After running the newperms script on the non-array disk, everything appears to be working fine.
