Unable to mount NFS directories created via Datasets GUI

Each dataset is essentially a different filesystem.

If you wish for a share to have several levels of hierarchy you should use directories and not datasets.

Hey Andrew

Thank you for your prompt reply. And sorry this is my first time really getting my hands into a TrueNAS OS.

Let me know if I am understanding you correctly,

I have granted “root” access to /mnt/Primary/astroHome so that directory is NFS mountable. Datasets controls permissions for the directory “rocky” and allows for user “pitest” to navigate to (in this case rwx) once they mount the parent directory.

However, based on my configuration of NFS (as the icon indicates in the Datasets pane only /mnt/Primary/astroHome is explicitly shared ) user “pitest” does not have the ability to directly mount /mnt/Primary/astroHome/rocky.

Should I wish for my users home directory to be mounted directly with autofs: kylestagner, rocky, pitest, etc. I would need to stop sharing the parent directory /mnt/Primary/astroHome, and move down into it and share each assigned home directory individually.

If I did not understand you correctly is there an article that you can share that goes into more detail as to what you mean?

Thank you again!

Kyle

It is not expected to be able to access child datasets unless they are explicitly exported. You’re looking at mountpoints.
