In the process of moving from unraid to scale. I am having to do it a piece at a time. I got one vdev setup, 8 wide raidz2 filled it to 81% which cleared enough drives to setup second 8 wide raidz2 vdev. I thought truenas would place new data on second vdev to balance use. Started moving data but stopped when vdev1 hit 85% and vedv2 was 4%. I downloaded the rebalancing script but can’t get it to run, probably permissions, but I’m stumped. I ran it on one folder in case it went horribly wrong. Opened shell, ran script and it copies first file to .balance, then i get error on second line, cp: preserving permissions “Operation not permitted”. Sudo or sudo su makes no difference. I tried changing owner to admin and root on the folder and files, no difference.
Post your complete hardware, TrueNAS version, pool setup and if you are sharing.

I also tried disabling the share on the dataset I am trying to rebalance, same error.
Figured it out, needed to set acl mode to passthrough. Reading up on ACL made my eyes bleed, but got rebalancing working.
