chasbaci Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Hello, Trying to create a VM in unRAID, with an ISO file mounted via Unassigned CFIS share. The unRAID server has the ISO directory connected and mount via Unassigned Devices, but when I am in the VM interface creating the VM I receive this error: "unable to set user and group to '0:100' on 'mnt/disks/iso/Windows 7 Home Premium.iso': Permission denied" Not sure if this is a permission problem with unRAID or the FreeNAS share. Any help would be appreciated. Current config: unRAID server: will be used for VM's and Gaming passthrough FreeNAS server: holds my ISO files and runs PLEX Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm not sure if I understand what you are doing here. Do you mount the Windows 7 ISO with Unassigned devices or is it only the remote ISO share that is mounted? Please post a screenshot of the VM template. Quote Link to comment
chasbaci Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 This ISO file is mounted via a share with Unassigned devices Creating the VM, and used the new ISO share to point to the ISO file Error: Hope this helps with the explanation. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 How about simply copying the Windows installation iso to your unRAID server instead of trying to install from a file across the network? Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 What is the output of the below command? ls -lah /mnt/disks/iso Looks like a problem with permissions. Quote Link to comment
chasbaci Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Here is the output Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 That looks good. However I think I found your error. In the ISO path you forgot to add the / in front of mnt. To be sure that the path is correct, you can also browse for the iso in the iso field. Quote Link to comment
chasbaci Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Added the / in front of mnt and still receiving the error: Tried the doubled and single both errored: What group and user is the VM plug in trying to access? Do we know if we need to add a group or user to the hosting server to access the share? Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Does the same error occour if you choose an ISO without space in the name? I have never seen this error before and don't understand why it wants to change the permissions. Quote Link to comment

I have never seen this error before and don't understand why it wants to change the permissions. It does, and I have renamed the ISO image to a shorter name as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

chasbaci Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yes, creating a local ISO directory on the unRAID server and accessing the file from the local machine does work. Looks like the issue is in the permissions of the unassigned devices share. Quote Link to comment
chasbaci Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Does the same error occour if you copy the ISO to the unraid server? Do you mean, like I suggested way back in Reply #3? No... We are trying to make a share from another server function so that I do not have to pull the large ISO files from one server to another Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 You don't need to keep the installation media there permanently. I just thought that as a means of getting the job done quickly it was a valid suggestion. I admire your stubborn refusal to give in but sometimes you just have to take the pragmatic approach. I thought your question was about creating a VM but I see that it's actually about importing an installation ISO from across the network, so I wish you good luck. If it helps, UID 0 is root and GID 100 is users. Why is the VM creator trying to chown your ISO? What happens if you do the job for it with chgrp users /path/to/iso Quote Link to comment

We are trying to make a share from another server function so that I do not have to pull the large ISO files from one server to another When you connect to the remote share in unassigned devices you do fill in the username and password field and the user you use have the correct permissions to access the files in that share?

I do, in fact I can access and modify those files with any device on the network Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 If this only happens on the share on your ISO server you have a problem with the permissions. I have tested here and I'm not able to recreate your error. You could try to change the permissions as John_M suggested (Which you seem to keep ignoring) or contact Lime tech directly to get it resolved. Quote Link to comment

Browsing to the unRAID server from a windows machine, the ISO share is shown but not accessible. Used both the user names for both the servers and no access is obtained. Might be time to call in some support Quote Link to comment

chasbaci Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Got it to work, but not able to browse the share. I noticed on my FreeNAS server an error when unRAID is trying to mount the share. Looks like Unassigned devices is trying to mount a new share its adding the network to the command line. Which show on the FreeNAS console and in the logs for unassigned devices FreeNAS Error: Unassigned Error: Testing to see if i can manually add the share SSH into the unRAID server and entered the following: mount -t nfs -o defaults '10.10.10.9://mnt/TANK1/Data/ISO' '/mnt/disks/FreeNasISO' Which now gave me access to the share on the FreeNAS machine. but... I can not browse the share, nor can i see the mounting on the webGUI for unRAID So I am half way there with the issue. Might be time for support now Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Ahh.. NFS... I thought it were a smb share. It looks like you have added 10.10.10.0 at the end of the remote path somehow. Both freenas and UD log says the same. Check your UD share settings or just remove and add the remote share again. Quote Link to comment
