Just as the guy in the video said, the TrueNAS documentation makes no mention of this. There are always 7 invisible hoops you have to jump through. Going on year 8 of running TrueNAS/FreeNAS and I still feel helpless any time I try to set something up. It also has a terribly annoying high pitched noise in the background. I skipped to the halfway point and watched from there and don't feel like I missed anything. The video, while helpful, is overly long. Also, the comment on the video about using the -R flag is worth taking note of. Thanks! Just wanted to chime in and say this absolutely fixed my issue. I can assure you all previous versions of Freenas and Plex plugin did not have this problem. I really think a cost benefit analysis should be done as to what Freenas is gaining by frustrating the heck out of legions of John Q public users, to satisfy the extreme paranoia of 1-2 advanced users concerning this particular permissions issue. However, I cannot in good conscience understand how or why Plex can't "own" the media folders / mount points by default once you do it via the how-to videos. I understand that Freenas attracts a certain, how you say, "paranoid" element of the IT community. I'll bet dollars to donuts that I am not the only one who has this problem or WILL have this problem going forward. T he exact same problem occurs even when you follow all the Freenas how-to youtube videos to a letter (i.e., setup, dataset, user / group, etc.). I got so frustrated with this problem, that I actually formatted and reinstalled my entire server from scratch as I thought it was a messed up user / permission issue from a Freenas / plugin update. I can post file permissions, network, path information or answer any other questions as needed. (Username blocked out but is listed as one of my non root users.Īt this point I am considering having someone completed a remote session to get this working on my system as I have spent about 5 hours troubleshooting permissions videos, plex installs, completely wiped the server and started from scratch and am losing my mind!
