Troubleshooting
p. 251
Recycle SMB vs OSX
When a user enables the recycle bin and disable option to hide dot files within SMB settings in the
admin tool, it will not reflect on Mac the same way as Windows.
For Mac clients the user must disable hiding of dot files in Finder in order to see dot files and also the
recycle bin which presents itself as .recycle.
OSX Hiding Option:
1. Login to admin tool on Mac client that has Finder set to hide dot files
2. Navigate to Connect > SMB > Shares and add a workspace share
3. When creating share enable recycle bin and disable hiding of dot files
4. Mount share through Connect to Server as a user
5. Write a file into the share and then delete the file
End Result: The .recycle will not show up because Finder is set to hide all dot files still.
In order to see dot files through Finder must input in terminal: defaults write com.
apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Then relaunch Finder by holding ‘command’ and right click on Finder to relaunch. Dot
files will show after.
ACLS & Permissions on the G-RACK 12
When using ACLs on the G-RACK 12 be aware that the OS on the server allows for user permissions
to override group ACLs. While this is not how you may expect them to work on Windows Servers it is
the chosen method for this device.
It is worth noting that if you create a local user with the same name as an Active Directory user that
the system will use the rights of the local user to override the rights provided by Active Directory.
Unexpected NFS Result
The scenario is this: There is one workspace shared by all users. Permissions appear wide open (Read
write execute for everything) on this workspace. When a file is uploaded through NFS, the user is
unable to edit when connecting through SMB/AFP. Conversely, uploading through SMB/ AFP makes
the file unable to be edited through NFS.
Expected: Since workspace permission is read/write/execute for everyone that accesses that
