Hello. I’m new in truenas and pretty much in nas alltogether. So keep it as beginner level as possible. 
How I can make allready working samba connection to read/write/run files from inside of the lets say transmission ix folder? I’ve tried to use instructions here in the forum and I did not manage to grand acces to the samba user. I ended up with a folder that has no to any user or so. It can not be deleted. Fortunately it does not conain any files.
I’m using Dragonfish
You’re two (almost three) major releases out of date, and iX have completely discarded the apps system that was used in Dragonfish and prior–you really need to give serious thought to an upgrade.
But with that said, you don’t share the ix-container dataset, or anything related to it. You’d instead set up some dataset in your pool, mount that to your Transmission as a host path, and also share it via SMB.
This has been ver disappointin “feature” in truenas so far. I downloaded at first time what was stable from truenas site. That version turns out to be two versions old from the dragonfish and did have old core before this linux one. I was not happy to found out that from the forums afterward. Now you said basically the same and program itself does not say anything unless I change Train where it warns basically from anything. [nag stops here]
Thanks for the tip. I’ll try to update latest stable and go from there. I’ll come back when in trouble. That is for sure. 
Fangtooth went in fine. Now I have made dataset called torrentit. Transmission is installed so that additional storage is mounted to the torrentit dataset. Problem now is I can not share the torrentit folder via smb. It is clearly permission problem. If I set it to share with smb with group that is working allready it will change whole dataset permissions to the samba group making transmission unable to use the folder. And vice versa. What I’m doing wrong ?
Use ACLs instead of Unix groups for SMB.
Can you elaborate that ? I could set acl in atleast three different places. Working pool smb share is unix user group.
Enable ACLs for the dataset. Set Unix user, group and permissions to match the requirements of the app. Add ACL entry to permit SMB group full control.
I can not make it work. Now situation is so that transmission do not have acces to the it’s own download folder after fresh install. I think it is time to give up completely using any app in this. Just use it as before.
It is working !
Frend of mine is “guy who knows” when it comes to Linux and it’s user characteristics . He spent 3 hours to get head around it. Finally he got qbitorrent work and I have samba acces to downloads folder. It was not easy at all.
Eventually Qbitorrent “only” needed default settings everywhere than additional storage where had to be set host path, mount to it as the default qb download folder and mount path to existing samba folder no ACL. And to do that mount, user credentials needed to be set to the that folder.
Reason why torrent could not use any folder was wrong user credentials. Even when host was rebooted and transmission re installed.
So no, not easy. Not easy at all. Glad it is working.
