Permission denied - Creating a share on second harddisk
« on: March 16, 2014, 11:22:38 pm »
I have Mount a new Harddisk on my zentyal 3.3 Server.

In fstab I have following entry:
Code: [Select]
UUID="48f9011b-4ec5-4eb4-9b7c-567d8644b71a"     /HDD/SDB080_3TB ext4    errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota,acl,user_xattr      0       1
I have create a main share called "SDB080_3TB" on "/HDD/SDB080_3TB" - It works and can be create.

Now I want to create a new Folder "DomainFiles" on this HDD and share them with the sharename "DomainFiles" - but the don´t work. The error is

Code: [Select]
Zentyal could not access to directory '/HDD/SDB080_3TB/DomainFiles': Permission denied
What can I do to fix the Problem? What are the right permissions and owner of subdirectories to manage via Zentyal.

OK - I have spend time to investigate the Problem

I think via the UI of zentyal is it not possible to create Shares on subdirectories if a parent is shared.

I test it follwing:

I Create /media/Folder1 and /media/Folder1/Folder2. Then I create a Share on "Folder1". The I try to make a second share on "Folder2". That´s no possible. Zentyal say "Permission denied".

How can that be Workaround - I Need some root Shares to administrate some applications and want to copy files direkt to Folder-structure.

This behavior still exists in Zentyal 3.4 :-(

I would share (only) the top level folder and set the access rights on folder level. For your example: Group_A and Group_B have access to Folder1. Only Group_B has rights to access Folder2.

Thank you very much. I tried but the same result: "Permission denied". I can´t understand why no one have found this "bug"?

Is it possible to manage the Shares directly. I think that will be a Workaround for me

I have a webapplication that Need two Shares: One as toplevel and one  for users area. But for all other purpose I can do that. Thanks

If I "chown" with "ebox:ebox" on the "/HDD/SDB080_3TB" then I can create a new subshare one time. If I want create a second sub share the permission denied come again and I must "chown ebox:ebox" again

okay than "ebox:ebox"
you can use this for create new Directorys then in GUI create Share:
Code: [Select]
sudo mkdir | sudo chown ebox | sudo chgrp ebox /HDD/SDB080_3TB/Folder1
sudo mkdir | sudo chown ebox | sudo chgrp ebox /HDD/SDB080_3TB/Folder2
sudo mkdir | sudo chown ebox | sudo chgrp ebox /HDD/SDB080_3TB/Folderx

sudo mkdir | sudo chown ebox | sudo chgrp ebox /HDD/SDB080_3TB/Folderx

It only works if i reset the Main-Share (/HDD/SDB080_3TB) - then is it posible to set subshare on a subfolder. Is it a Problem with my permissions if i every time i set the chown ebox:ebox?

for existing Directorys use this before Sharing:

Code: [Select]
sudo chown ebox:ebox /HDD/SDB080_3TB/DomainFilesx
sudo chmod 770 /HDD/SDB080_3TB/DomainFilesx
