This started soon after installing several torrent dockers. Every few days permissions will change for /mnt/cache/appdata/. Usually I can run Docker Safe New Perms and correct the problem, but for some reason that has stopped working. Would like to know how to set proper permissions for appdata and even more, how to stop this problem from recurring. Diagnostics attached in case they help.

I would review your settings for the torrent dockers and be sure they don't have access directly to /mnt/cache/appdata and instead have only access to their respective folders - i.e. /mnt/cache/appdata/torrent.  Dockers will change permissions of the directories and folders in their respective appdata folders based on their own needs.  It appears that one of the dockers is changing permissions on the /mnt/cache/appdata folder.  Nothing should be changing the permissions of that folder.

I'm using the same settings in all the dockers for permissions-

 

 

I noticed that a couple of the dockers were missing the trailing slash in their appdata path (ex. /mnt/cache/appdata/Deluge ). Not sure if that would actually change anything, but I added the "/" to the end of the path.

Well, that didn't work. Docker Safe New Permissions isn't doing any good either. Finally got the permissions to reset by rebooting.

It doesn't really make much sense that rebooting would have any effect on actual file permissions/ownership.

 

Are you actually looking at the permissions from linux? Or are you just getting some Windows message about permissions?

I'm looking at a Finder window on my mac. Doesn't really show any info other than that I can't open any folders on the cache. Not sure how to check via CLI? Or maybe there is a better way?
