Can not chmod file in my dataset

TrueNAS General

I am currently setting up Traefik with LetsEncrypt in docker on a different machine and using NFS as volume mounts in docker. One of the things that LetsEncrypt does is create an acme.json file and then attempts to chmod 600 the file so only the user in the docker container (in this case root) can modify the file. I get an error in the docker logs saying the chmod does not have permission to change the file even though it created it. I have actually went into the /mnt/rusty/bucket/traefik/letsencrypt folder on truenas and attempted to manually do the chmod myself as my user, as admin and as root but all of them end with a permission denied. Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?

My setup:

cat /etc/exports

shows on my truenas scale

"/mnt/rusty/bucket/traefik"\ 192.168.100.0/24(sec=sys,rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
mount | grep nfs

on my docker host shows

:/mnt/rusty/bucket/traefik on /var/lib/docker/volumes/traefik_data/_data type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.100.6,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.100.14)

on my my dataset I do have and acl group set up as below

tns-dataset-permisions
tns-dataset-permisions699×471 17.9 KB

It appears your docker host is mounting the NFS share as nfs4. That requires Kerberos. Does your setup actually use Kerberos? If not, that’s not going to work.

This is nothing to do with kerberos. You do not need kerberos to use NFS version4 shares in either Linux or FreeBSD.

The reason chmod fails is because you’ve picked NFSv4 style ACLs for your dataset and how SCALE sets the values of the related dataset properties of aclmode and aclinherit when the acltype is NFSv4.

For example. see here.

Please review docs here.

Thanks this pointed me down what I guess is the correct path here. My solution that got this working was to go into the ACL manager and under the Flags section select Advanced and then uncheck the File Inherit. This seems to work not sure if its the best solution but its working.
