ACL help: Permission denied (os error 13)

Alright guys, I finally fixed it, and your help was invaluable–help for which I am very grateful! On my way to arriving at a solution, I stumbled onto an inordinate number of bugs all over the place, though mostly related to TrueNAS environment for apps. So many bugs, in fact, that I lost count. :slightly_frowning_face: I will attempt to list a couple of the most egregious ones in this forum later on. For now, here’s what has been happening:

  1. The best advice in this saga was to switch to NFSv4 ACL(!), which looks to have made things much simpler. As such, I had to …
  2. completely remove any and all specks of NextCloud from the machine, including the user data dataset(!), which means that I had to transfer almost 1T of data to … somewhere else. Thankfully, my LAN is 10Gbps, so that took less than 300 days; I guess you could call that a complete raze NextCloud-wise;
  3. I then built a new dataset following instructions from this; the most important change was that the new dataset was to be built with an Apps preset, which, among others, makes it an NFSv4 ACL dataset, and gives the apps user ā€œmodifyā€ credentials;
  4. Finally, all it took now was to run Czkawka as this apps user, and Bob’s your uncle!

Now, when you look at it, it looks fairly simple, but it took me two full days of agony to get there.

Again, thanks to all who replied!
