I exported a ZFS pool from Nexenta and imported to NAS4free. All of the permissions reset to d---------
The only way to fix it was to go in with advanced file manager to each subdirectory and manually set them to drwxr-xr-x

It would be nice if the system were able to fix all of the permissions when importing a ZFS pool.

I should say try in cli:
# find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
# find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Non-unix guy here, could you provide a little more context? How do I point that command at a specific pool and dataset?

replace the "." with the path to the files and directories you want to change, it will do it recursively. the first one does directories "type d" the second does files "type f"

Code: Select all

find /path/to/files -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /path/to/files -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

the first one does directories "type d" the second does files "type f"

Thanks Siftu. Now how do I get this in the documentation so other people doing a pool import don't get stuck?
(it would be even better if NAS4free took care of this during import)

no system, be it Nextenta, Nas4free, FreeNAS, Solaris, OpenIndiana or ZFSonLinux will ever change permissions when importing a pool. It's just not it's job and would be dangerous to do so.

But people are going to want to import pools. I don't think importing pools should be limited to just people that can hack at the command line. There has to be a way of facilitating this through the GUI.

I know I sound like a broken record, but the easier you make this system to use, the more you expand your user base. That is the ultimate goal is it not?

Yeh... next time, i'll do better.
