mark2741 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Been stumped on this for quite some time - have tried everything. Using unRAID 6.8.3 (latest version as of writing), with a share named 'media' (path /mnt/user/media) I am currently using Ubuntu linux to try to access the share but I have tried it with many different linux distros with same failure. The media share on unraid is set to public. I am able to access it and read using the file manager (Gnome) in Ubuntu. But when I try to write a file to it I receive this error: ------------ Error while copying "myfile.mkv". There was an error copying the file into smb://unraid/media/TV/ShowDir. Permission denied ----------- Note that I *CAN* write to the root "TV" share/directory but cannot to any of the directories within it. I've tried everything, from a secure share with a named user (same username as my linux login), as well as NFS share, etc. For simplicity sake I'm trying to stick with SMB for now and if I can get this working I may switch to NFS. Bottom line: I cannot write to any of the directories on the share, even though it is set to 'public' in unRAID.

Squid Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 If the folder(s) were being created by say Sonarr, then you've got to adjust it's permissions within it's settings. But, Tools - New Permissions will probably fix you up when run against the TV share Quote Link to comment
mark2741 Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Thanks so much Squid - I had no idea that the New Permissions was a feature! Running it now with fingers crossed. Will report back on result. Quote Link to comment
mark2741 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Squid thank you! This solved it. I kept trying things on the linux client side and didn't think it would be an unRAID feature to fix these permissions. Thank you! Quote Link to comment
