May 24, 201412 yr So, I have some user shares setup with different permissions. One of these shares is called video, and it's permissions are setup like so... Allocation method: High water Use cache disk: Yes NFS Security Settings: Export: Yes Security: Public SMB Security Settings: Export: Yes (hidden) Security: Secure User Access: Guests have read-only access. chris: Read/Write theater: Read/Write alpha: Read-only myrna: Read/Write emmy: Read-only Other shares are similarly restricted. I do this because I don't want some users to have the ability to accidentally delete files from the server. I have my users created to match Windows login credentials, so that any user that logs into a windows machine automatically gets the "correct" permissions I want them to have. Now, the problem is that any user that access files can change the user/permissions of the files they access, preventing others from gaining access, or changing the files on the server. One current example of this is that I just ran the newperms script 20 minutes ago, like so... newperms /mnt/user/video/TV/ and it appeared successful. I assume this would change all users to nobody, since I got this... processing /mnt/user/video/TV/ ... chmod -R u-x,go-rwx,go+u,ugo+X /mnt/user/video/TV/ ... chown -R nobody:users /mnt/user/video/TV/ ... sync completed, elapsed time: 00:02:57 but when I then tried to manipulate some files with my media player, it failed, telling me I didn't have permission to do so. So then I ran ls -l on the directory that contained the files that failed, and I got this result... root@media:/mnt/user/video/TV/Archive/America's Test Kitchen/Season 01# ls -l total 10854735 -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 21556 Jan 2 13:25 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e01\ -\ Tomato\ Sauces\ for\ Pasta.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 871554726 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e01\ -\ Tomato\ Sauces\ for\ Pasta.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 2387 Jan 2 13:25 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e01\ -\ Tomato\ Sauces\ for\ Pasta_mkv_JRSidecar\ (1).xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 2387 Jan 2 13:25 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e01\ -\ Tomato\ Sauces\ for\ Pasta_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 19460 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e02\ -\ The\ Perfect\ Roast\ Turkey.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 868790339 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e02\ -\ The\ Perfect\ Roast\ Turkey.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2159 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e02\ -\ The\ Perfect\ Roast\ Turkey_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 21924 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e03\ -\ Great\ Roast\ Chicken.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 868844220 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e03\ -\ Great\ Roast\ Chicken.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2215 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e03\ -\ Great\ Roast\ Chicken_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 23678 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e04\ -\ Beef\ Stew.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 874736560 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e04\ -\ Beef\ Stew.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2257 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e04\ -\ Beef\ Stew_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 17590 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e05\ -\ Perfect\ Pork.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 869999033 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e05\ -\ Perfect\ Pork.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2210 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e05\ -\ Perfect\ Pork_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 19674 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e06\ -\ How\ to\ Cook\ Salmon.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 763753878 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e06\ -\ How\ to\ Cook\ Salmon.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2272 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e06\ -\ How\ to\ Cook\ Salmon_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 21629 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e07\ -\ Stir\ Fry\ Made\ Easy.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 768645540 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e07\ -\ Stir\ Fry\ Made\ Easy.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2331 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e07\ -\ Stir\ Fry\ Made\ Easy_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 21056 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e08\ -\ Sunday\ Dinner.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 866011504 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e08\ -\ Sunday\ Dinner.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2200 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e08\ -\ Sunday\ Dinner_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 22197 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e09\ -\ Cooking\ Eggs.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 957166953 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e09\ -\ Cooking\ Eggs.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2292 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e09\ -\ Cooking\ Eggs_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 21154 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e10\ -\ Cookie\ Jar\ Favorites.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 869997048 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e10\ -\ Cookie\ Jar\ Favorites.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2253 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e10\ -\ Cookie\ Jar\ Favorites_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 21142 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e11\ -\ The\ Perfect\ All-Purpose\ Cake.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 870233288 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e11\ -\ The\ Perfect\ All-Purpose\ Cake.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2186 May 24 13:21 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e11\ -\ The\ Perfect\ All-Purpose\ Cake_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 20509 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e12\ -\ Holiday\ Pies.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 868221278 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e12\ -\ Holiday\ Pies.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2107 May 24 13:22 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e12\ -\ Holiday\ Pies_mkv_JRSidecar.xml -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 20018 Oct 31 2012 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e13\ -\ Crisps,\ Cobblers,\ and\ Gratins.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 786061866 Jan 26 2013 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e13\ -\ Crisps,\ Cobblers,\ and\ Gratins.mkv -rw-rw-rw- 1 chris users 2189 May 24 13:22 America's\ Test\ Kitchen\ -\ s01e13\ -\ Crisps,\ Cobblers,\ and\ Gratins_mkv_JRSidecar.xml notice that some of these files have the user as "chris", which is the user of the laptop I'm using currently.

May 26, 201412 yr Author This continues to be a problem for me. A recent example is that my media player tried to automatically 'tag' some new videos, and gave me an error that it was unable to modify some files, and to be sure they were not in use or locked. here are the permissions of the files it warned me about... root@media:/mnt/user/video/TV/Archive/The Dog Whisperer/Season 03# ls -l total 2864608 -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366309376 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e02\ -\ Buster,\ Holli,\ Spike\ &\ Belle.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366286848 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e04\ -\ Wilshire\ and\ Butch.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366295040 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e05\ -\ Maya,\ Sara,\ \ and\ Lilly.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366311424 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e06\ -\ Sophie\ &\ Riley,\ Aussi\ and\ Sasha,\ Bebe\ &\ Lulu.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366319616 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e07\ -\ Bella\ &\ Big\ Boy,\ and\ Gracie.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366327808 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e09\ -\ Woody\ &\ Wally,\ and\ Kane.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366340096 Jan 7 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e16\ -\ Hope,\ Maureen,\ Chloe\ and\ Sam.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366297088 Jan 7 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e18\ -\ Amber,\ Snoopy,\ and\ Schroeder.avi Permissions look fine and I would expect any user to be able to make changes to these files, but it seems I'm not able.

May 27, 201412 yr Author attached is one example, not the one I described above, as I've already corrected those permissions. This is just one recent one.
May 29, 201412 yr Author It's nothing to do with windows credentials. I don't have any saved. I have a user on unRAID which matches exactly my windows user name/password, as per the unRAID documentation, but no other saved credentials.

The individual file permissions are... root@media:/mnt/user/video/TV/Archive/The Dog Whisperer/Season 03# ls -l total 2864608 -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366309376 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e02\ -\ Buster,\ Holli,\ Spike\ &\ Belle.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366286848 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e04\ -\ Wilshire\ and\ Butch.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366295040 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e05\ -\ Maya,\ Sara,\ \ and\ Lilly.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366311424 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e06\ -\ Sophie\ &\ Riley,\ Aussi\ and\ Sasha,\ Bebe\ &\ Lulu.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366319616 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e07\ -\ Bella\ &\ Big\ Boy,\ and\ Gracie.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366327808 Jan 1 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e09\ -\ Woody\ &\ Wally,\ and\ Kane.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366340096 Jan 7 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e16\ -\ Hope,\ Maureen,\ Chloe\ and\ Sam.avi -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 366297088 Jan 7 2009 The\ Dog\ Whisperer\ -\ s03e18\ -\ Amber,\ Snoopy,\ and\ Schroeder.avi These files came from SickBeard, sending to SABnzbd, then using the autoProcessTV script to move them to their final location, which you see above. in SABnzbd, I have Permissions for completed downloads set to 777. I don't see any place in SickBeard to set permissions for files, so I'm not sure if they are getting changed by the autoProcessTV script. I'm not sure where to go to get these issues resolved. I suspect it's something to do with my setup, as I just don't see these issues from others using basically this same setup.
May 29, 201412 yr Author This feels like an unRAID core issue, not something related to changes I've made (other than assigning user permissions), which I don't think should be considered User Customizations; although I could certainly be wrong. However, I think I'm just going to remove all user permissions and HOPE that the family doesn't bulk delete all my stuff. I'm tired of fighting with my server (which was supposed to make like easier). Life is too short.
June 4, 201412 yr Author Well, I ended up just deleting all permissions restrictions on my whole server; for every user share, and all of the permissions issues I was having are now gone. My ArchVM and my Windows8 VM are chugging along with nary a hiccup now. SAB and SickBeard are not reporting any errors, and have not randomly stopped working since making this change. I'm not at all thrilled about the vulnerability of all of my files being irrevocably bulk deleted by non-native English speaking children that don't usually read warning messages before clicking "OK", but it seems to be the only way to get everything working without permissions errors and warning messages. I suppose I will need to add 'users' to match the Virtual Machines to try to get them full permissions, then add back the restrictions for the other users, but that's going to have to wait I'm afraid. Life has too many other moving parts for me right now to keep spending so much of my time on this. Plus, with the changes coming to v6 betas, whatever I do now will have to be changed soon anyway.
