Permissions issue with NFS mounted MyCloud

FIrst off let me say I think this is a LInux issue and not a WDMyCloud issue, but I'm not sure, so here goes... I can rsync my stuff off the Linux systems on my LAN to back them up into a WDMyCloud share, no problem. But then I can't get at some stuff with limited file permissions, when I mount the WDMyCloud via NFS. Here's the problem... Let's s say my directory tree on the WDMyCloud looks like "/shares/Stuff/L1/L2/L3" where the permissions on "L3" look like this: drwx------+ 3 fred share 4096 Jul 1 01:03 L3 It's readable/writeable only by "fred". I want to preserve the permissions and ownerships on everything, so if I have to do a restore and "rsync" it back onto another machine they'll go back the way they were when I backed them up. I can see the contents of "L3" if I "ssh" into the MyCloud, *but* I *cannot* see the contents of "L3" if I try to look at it via the NFS mount - I get ls: L3: permission denied. If I change the permissions on it, e.g.drwxrwxrwx+ 3 fred share 4096 Jul 1 01:03 L3then I can see the contents of "L3" just fine. So it's just the fact that via the NFS mount the MyCloud NFS server (Or something?) won't give me access to it unless the permissions are open, even logged in as "root" on the machine where the MyCloud is NFS mounted. I tried creating "fred" as a user on the MyCloud *and* made sure the numerical UID and GIDs were the same on the Linux machine and the MyCloud - No dice. I haven't tried everything in the world yet (I haven't tried rebooting the MyCloud to see if some server hasn't picked up the changes to "/etc/passwd" or whatever ; there's something called "idmapd" that I guess I should look into... Etc.) But I thought maybe somebody here might have run into this or have a bright idea?

I had some problems, and I modified the /etc/exports file to meet a little more my needs This is the content of it: -------/nfs/jffs *(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)/nfs *(rw,all_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure,crossmnt,anonuid=999,anongid=1000)-------- The first line/share allows to change the permissisions and uid below them when you monted on your machineThe second one I maped the anonuid to the uid my user has on the wd (999) so when I mount a share on the machine everything is write with that used id If you modifes the /etc/exports file remeber to run after you edited the command "exportfs -a" to refresh the changes Hope this help with your problem

Permissions issue with OSX 10.5.8

This is likely a newbie question. I am new to OS X, but I am familiar with Linux/Unix Terminal usage.
I have a permissions issue with OSX 10.5.8.
I cannot use basic commands on the Terminal, such as mkdir, on my own home directory. I get an error message saying the operation is not permitted.
I have traced the probable culprit down to default ACL permissions settings.
So after hours of research on Google, I found out that ACL are turned on by default in OSX 10.5.8.
But I don't know how to safely use it yet, so I need help.
I'm not quite familiar with ACL, so I need to know how to add myself safely and securely to modify my home directory.
The command is with chmod. Can this also be done via the GUI?
What is the option for chmod to modify my home directory?
Is it:
*$ cd ~*
*$ chmod +a "user:john allow write" .*
*$ chmod +a "user:john allow delete" .*
Alternatively, if I use the "chmod -N ." command on the home directory, will that safely remove all ACL? Or is that recipe for a major security hole in my machine?
Thanks!

There are many people on this board that know way more than I do. Sometimes there is the tendency to copy/paste some kind of boilerplate response though, especially if there isn't quite enough information about a particular problem, so just keep trying.
You should be able to add anything you want to your user directory without the use of any ACL entries. The purpose for the *deny delete* entries on the system created folders would probably be to reduce customer service calls about "accidentally" deleting some of the folders that the system expects to be there - it does not affect creating items.
To verify that there aren't other attributes getting in the way, open the /Applications/Utilities/Terminal application, copy/paste the following command(s) into the window (there is a trailing space), drag the problem folder(s) from a Finder window to the Terminal window (this will paste the path), press return and post back with the results:
/usr/bin/who am i; /bin/ls -leO@d
These commands will display the ownership and permissions, including any ACL entries and extended attributes.
On my Leopard user folder the permissions are drwxr-xr-x+ with an ACL entry *group:everyone deny delete*. These permissions allow read/write for me, read for everyone else, and an administrator authentication will be needed to delete the folder. These are similar to what you posted earlier, so maybe there is something else going on in there.

NFS was the only one file type recognized by the discovery process...I am quite new to virtualization, actually spent last whole week trying and fixing one or other issue with the VM server :D
If you know how I could avoid NFS in the entire scenario (as this is just for learning purpose) I would be grateful :)

Strange delete behavior in Solaris 10 with NFS mounts

We are using the apache commons-io framework to delete a directory in a Solaris 10 environment. The code works well on our dev and qa boxes, but when we load it into our production envrionment we get intermittent failures where the files in a directory are not being deleted and therefore when we try to delete the directory it fails to delete.
We suspect that this may be some kind of NFS problem in Solaris where it may take longer to delete a file than if it is on a local drive and therefore the code reaches the deletedir before the OS actually removes the files and this cause the delete directory failure because files are still present.
Has anyone seen this in an NFS environment with Solaris? We are on Java 1.4.2_15 and we are using apache commons-io 1.3.1.

The apache commons-io framework contains a method to delete a directory by recursively deleting all files and subdirectories. Intermittently, we are seeing some of the files in a subdirectory remain and then when delete is called to remove the directory (from within the commons-io framework deletedir method) we get an IOException. This only occurs on an NFS mounted file system on our production system. Our dev and qa systems are also on an NFS but it is a different one and appears to be loaded differently and the behavior for dev and qa consistently works as expected.
It appears to be some kind of latency issue related to the way java deletes files on the NFS, but no conclusive evidence so far.
We have not tried this with a newer version of java since we are presently constrained to 1.4 :-(

Issue with AFP Mounts

I am migrating the user homes from a Linux server to a 10.5.8 Xserve.
The users are all setup in an LDAP environment.
The homes are currently on an NFS server running Linux. All users login to network accounts and are automatically connected to their NFS homes upon login.
I would like to start only migrating the files and thereby changed the users homes to something like this:
/Network/Servers/<afs server>/Volumes/NetworkFolder/testuser
The user testuser has the same uid, user, pwd in the LDAP as on the new Xserve. The Xserve volume is finally mounted and I can login with my network home as testuser. However, the files are all read only. I cannot change anything in the new home files.
The access log on the AFS server says I'm logged in as Guest
I'm sure its a simple option I'm forgetting either in the LDAP config or on the AFS - I just seem to be stuck.
Any idea on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
- Thanks, Peter

I was looking for something like this. I have just bought a WD My Book World NAS drive. I connected it to my old router (G) and discovered it was too slow to wirelessly stream high bitrate music or movies. I then bought a Belkin N+ router which resolved this issue. However I have trouble with the mounts. When I wake my MacBook from sleep I can normally see the drive under Shares in Finder, but after some minutes it disappears. If I Go -> Network in Finder it turns up, but will not connect. The funny thing is I can be streaming music from the darn thing without interruption! The network shares on the desktop also turns on/off erratically. I can still access the folder contents from these even that the drive is not visible in Finder.
The NAS is set up for AFP on all shares which should be ok. I have tried both dynamic and fixed IP address on the NAS, but my Mac gets it dynamically. I'll try a fixed IP for this.
People are talking about automatic mount of network resources on start up. I came from Windblows and do not know all the fancy Unix commands and config files stuff. So how do you folks do this?
Will be much appreciated, thanks!

Error creating custom reports. Permissions issue with custom reports

I am having permission issues with reports. I am building a new Configuration Manager 2012 infrastructure and I have configured the Site server on Server1 and the DB is on Server2. Server2 also hosts the Reporting Point and SSRS roles/features. If
I look in Monitoring at the Site Status and Component Status are all green no issues with the setup.
Running SQL 2008 SP2 (no CUs). I have a service account that I used to install Configuration Manager and SQL. This service account is running the SQL service on Server2 and i am using the same account as the Reporting Services Point Account.
I log into the SCCM console with a different user account, lets call it Admin1. This account is a member of the Full Administrator role. I can run any built in report.
When I open the SSRS website and try to create a custom report I connect the DataSource using Windows Authentication. So the Datasource is connecting using the logged in users account. In this case Admin1. I test the connection and it connects fine.
I test this query. (Select * from v_R_System) I only have about 10 workstations discovered so the report shouldn’t be very big. I get an error “The Select permission was denied on the object ‘v_R_System’, Database ‘CM_XXX’, schema ‘dbo’. (Microsoft sql server,
Error: 229)”
I have fixed the SELECT permission error by going into the database (using SQL Management studio) and granting Admin1 Select rights to the Configuration Manager database. I can now run the above query and make custom reports.
My 2<sup>nd</sup> problem is that other members of the Full Administrator role cannot run these custom reports unless I go into the database and grant them the SELECT permission.
Question:
Should I have to manually go into the database to add SELECT permissions(i could use a group)? shouldnt Configuration Manager take care of this for me?
Maybe the built in reports use the SQL service account rights and the custom ones do not? Am I doing something wrong with the Datasource when I create these custom reports?
What is the correct process for creating custom reports?

I think i am getting closer to a solution. After the Custom report is created. i can go back into the report. Delete the DataSource. Then browse for a dataSource. there is a datasource located in http://server2/reportserver/ConfigMgr_XXX/
That datasource is used by all builtin reports. if you view the properties on the Credentials tab it is set to "do not use credentials" and the option is greyed out / cannot be changed.
it looks like i still need the SELECT permissions on the database to create the report initially but at least i have solved the problem with viewing these reports.
Can anyone confirm that what i did is correct?

Permissions issues with multiple volumes

I'm currently running one boot volume with Snow Leopard and one with Mountain Lion on my Mac Pro. Due to current software compatibility-related issues, I need to be able to use both volumes regularly as part of my workflow for now, though I plan to transition fully to 10.8 in the next couple months. Right now, I'm running into a permissions issue that is impeding my workflow. When I first set up the 10.8 volume, I had access to all the folders in my main user account on the 10.6 volume. However, yesterday I used the process described in the link below to change name of my home folder, which includes creating a new user account. With this new user account, I find that I do not have access to user content on my 10.6 volume.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428
I know how to change permissions in the "Get Info" window, but I'm wondering if there's a way to globally give this account the same permissions the original one had. (Actually, I thought that was what the process in that support article was supposed to do, so perhaps I've done something wrong...) As it is right now, if I've granted myself read and write permissions to the Documents folder, but those permissions seem to have "cascaded" inconsistently--some files and folders are still blocked, others are accessible. Can anyone help me out with this? For now, I'm just going to copy the files I need over, but I need a better solution.

Anyone have any ideas?

Permissions issues with Lion

I just suddenly started having issues with my permissions with folders on external drives. Many of my folders (which appear to be random) no longer allow me to read or write them, and a dialog box appears saying I do not have permssion to access the folders. I only have one user which is the admin user.... what could have caused this? I have some drives with duplicate data on them, and different folders appear with the loss of access then others on other drives. I thought this was specific to my newest MBP (10.7.2) but notice both my older MBP and my really old G4 do the same thing, but with different folders each time. I have repaired permissions twice on the newest MBP to no avail. When I get info on a restricted folder, I notice that under 'permissions' my username does not appear, just a 'fetching....' but no username ever appears. If I unlock the folder using my admin password, I can change access for 'everyone' to read and write, and then I can access it. But what is going on here? All drives have been verified under disc utility, and as I mentioned, I have repaired permissions on the MBP which seem to be fine. This is weird..... (and a little alarming)

Select the icon of the volume in the Finder and open the Info window. Click the lock icon in the lower right corner and authenticate. Then do either of the following:
Check the box to Ignore ownership on this volume.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, give yourself read & write privileges, then select Apply to enclosed items from the menu with the gear icon.

Permissions issue with Entourage after upgrading to Leopard

I upgraded my system to Leopard and in doing so, did a "clean" install. I copied my backup Database file to the Identity folder and now i get "you do not have sufficient permissions to view contents of this folder" when trying to launch. If i let Entourage create a new database file, it works fine....

GIMP 2.4 for Mac OS X is not official release yet. It is only realease candidate and it should come soon hopefully with X11 issue being resolved in Leopard.
I believe that there are some known issues with X11 and BSD "under the hood" with Leopard. Fink is also broken and my old Darwin X11 attempts to run but nothing happens.

Disk Utilities/Permissions Issues with Leopard

What is wrong with Leopard's permissions? I have had numerous permissions issues, and had to reformat my two disk drives and Archive & Install Leopard on my startup disk after a Tiger to Leopard Upgrade.
Now when I run Disk Utilities and Repair Permissions (which I do routinely), what used to take a minute or two in Tiger now takes a half hour (or longer) in Leopard?
I ran Disk Utilities on my MacPro and it has taken nearly 25 minutes and is still going. My MacBook Pro is estimating the time at 1-minute remaining (where it started), and it has also been going for 25 minutes plus. I would like to go to bed, and don't want to leave my MBP running over night if I don't have to.
This is a major issue and one which Apple needs to address immediately. I trust I am not the only User having this issue, is this the case?

No your not the only one. It's been reported throughout the discussions. Appears that some of the errors reported in disk utility will not effect performance. Still, I expect that something is being observed and worked on as an update..

Permissions issue with Time Machine backup store

I am struggling with a Time Machine permissions issue on an iMac running OS X 10.10.2 + OS X Server 4.0.3, and backing itself up to an external USB disk.
Backups complete successfully, but I am unable to carry out any user-level operations such as accessing the "time travel" interface via Enter Time Machine from the menu bar. Invoking Enter Time Machine fails with the error Can't connect to a current Time Machine backup disk. Likewise, although tmutil will correctly list the backup destination, tmutil listbackups produces an error:
$ tmutil listbackups
2015-02-05 16:53:19.413 tmutil[29181:2324148] Error enumerating (null): The file “Backups.backupdb” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it.
No machine directory found for host.
My system logs are full of similar error messages from Finder.
On the back volume, the permisisons to the store are set to owner root and group wheel, and there is an access control list applied to the directory and Backups.backupdb:
$ ls -lae
total 2688
drwxrwxr-x 12 root wheel      476 Feb 4 22:29 .
drwxrwxrwt@ 9 root admin      306 Feb 4 11:57 ..
0: group:everyone deny add_file,add_subdirectory,directory_inherit,only_inherit
drwxrwx---+ 6 root wheel      204 Jan 30 13:49 Backups.backupdb
0: group:everyone deny add_file,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,writeattr,writeextattr,chown
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel   115716 Nov 13 02:43 tmbootpicker.ef
The problem is clearly the drwxrwx--- permissions applied to the store. I can temporarily revert these with chmod, after which all the user-level operations described above work correctly. But on the next backup, backupd will revert the permissions to give wheel write access and remove rx privileges for everyone else. It doesn't leave anything in the system log to suggest why it is making this change.
I have a MacBook also running OS X 10.10.2, without the Server pack. This also backs up to a (different) external volume. On this volume the owner, group and access control list for the store are set as above, but the permissions are (and remain) what I would have expected, drwxr-xr-x.
Is there any obvious reason why backupd should be modifying the permissions in this way — and is there any way to stop it?

Thanks - I was seeing exact same problem on one of my client's machines (10.10.2 with OS X Server). I could see wrong group of "wheel" but wasn't certain that just changing to "staff" would be enough - but seems to have sorted things out

Migration Assistant and permissions issues with new Mac Pro

Hi There,
I've not had any significant issues with Migration Assistant in the past but I can't create a reliable system with my new Mac Pro.
After using Migration Assistant during the initial setup, my user account wasn't even transferred. I tried restarting but in the end, I followed these instructions to reset and run the assitant again: http://stationinthemetro.com/2013/11/10/make-mavericks-re-run-the-setup-assistan t
I've just finished running it for a second time, and while the user account is now on my new system, there are so many permissions issues that the system is unusable (I can't even run Safari). Creative cloud, 1Password, safari, Dropbox are all apps that give me Disk i/o or permissions errors.
If I look in the user folder, many directories within it have a red minus icon. I've tried fixing permissions using Disk Utility but something is not right.
In the past, the new system just boots like the old one but this time round, it asked me to create an account after Migration Assistant had finished - is this normal? I used the same username and password as before but I'm not sure Migration Assistantis working properly.
Does anyone know a full-proof way of fixing and transferring my account without having to spend hours downloading OSX for a full erase and install?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the reply,
I didn't understand exactly what to put into AppleScript sorry (never used it before) - so I just ran the following from the Terminal:
$ echo $UID
$ sudo chown -R 503 ~
And restarted - everything works now - thanks heaps.
What had happened and is this something I did or did Migration Assistant just get confused?
I have 3 new Mc Pros to setup on Monday so just want to ensure those are hassle free.
Cheers
Ben

Privileges/permissions issue with drop box/archive folder

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with the permissions on a folder on my iMac. I'm running Leopard. Here at our office, I have my computer set up just like everyone else; within my drop box I have an folder titled "Archive", and within the archive folder I have a folder named after the boss' external hard drive. When the files are on her hard drive, she moves them into this folder so that we know they're completed and can be burned to disc.
For some reason though, she can no longer access this folder in my drop to drag anything into it. One day I found something online that told me to set something through my system preferences. It worked, but I can't remember what I did! The folder seems to have "relapsed" and once again, she can't access it. "Get Info" doesn't work, no matter how many times I change the permissions- it always says everyone should be able to read and write. I've also tried changing permissions and shared folders in the "Sharing" section of system preferences. It just doesn't seem to want to go. I think she might be running Tiger; is there a possibility that that's the issue?
Any thoughts? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would check the system preferences / sharing / file sharing .. highlight file sharing (leftside) and setting to edit changes will be on right side for 10.6.x S Leopard. I would look for a somewhat similar setup in Tiger for its file sharing settings.

Permanent solution to permissions issue with ML and iPhoto?

Hi, since upgrading my late-2011 Imac to ML, I have had issues with iPhoto. (All updates have been applied as they become available.) I am using a shared iphoto library across two user accounts. Both users are Admin accounts. When user A loads pictures, user B cannot see them til we have run the 'repair permissions' option. Same happens in reverse ie user B loads photos and we need to repair permissions for them to be visible to user A. (Thumbnails are available but when clicking through to the actual photo we get the 'exclamation mark / point of death'.) Any ideas on a permanent fix for this, as the need to do this every time is a pain tbh.

Anyone else having problems with NFS mounts not showing up?

Since Lion, cannot see NFS shares anymore. Folder that had them is still threre but the share will not mount. Worked fine in 10.6.
nfs://192.168.1.234/volume1/video
/Volumes/DiskStation/video
resvport,nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,wsize=32768,rsize=3276
Any ideas?
Thanks

Since the NFS points show up in the terminal app, go to the local mount directory (i.e. the mount location in the NFS Mounts using Disk Utility) and do the following:
First Create a Link file
sudo ln -s full_local_path link_path_name
sudo ln -s /Volumes/linux/projects/ linuxProjects
Next Create a new directory say in the Root of the Host Drive (i.e. Macintosh HDD)
sudo mkdir new_link_storage_directory
sudo mkdir /Volumes/Macintosh\ HDD/Links
Copy the Above Link file to the new directory
sudo mv link_path_name new_link_storage_directory
sudo mv linuxProjects /Volumes/Macintosh\ HDD/Links/
Then in Finder locate the NEW_LINK_STORAGE_DIRECTORY and then the link file should allow opening of these NFS point points.
Finally, after all links have been created and placed into the NEW..DIRECTORY, Place it into the left sidebar. Now it works just like before.
