Just an update, I ended up removing the pool, reinstalling OMV recreating the pool with all 5 20TB drives and restoring from backup. The restore was painful. Single platter speed vs a RAID 0. But, I'm finished now and all is back up and running.

Whelp. After resetting permissions and reboot, the issue persists. No clue. Should the reset take about 30 seconds?

Ok, I copied one of the problematic folders from my NAS to my desktop and back and balance blew right by it without any trouble. It did, however, stop on the next group of files. It sounds like permreset my be my next step.

All I use my NAS for is:

Plex

nxbGet

Scanning from an all in one printer

Backing up VM's from a ESXi server using a 'nix box.

Flat Storage for software that hardly ever changes and is backed up by a 'nix box.

Rsync to copy from the primary machine to a backup machine.

Store of backup security videos that is copied by Blue Iris. (Windows Machine)

Do we see anything that might be impacted?

I so appreciate all you have done.

You just select read only for "others" for some shares and read write for "others" for other shares. Your user and root can both write to directories owned by users. If your rsync is changing permissions, it might cause a problem

This is interesting. I installed and opened reset perms and I have different values for different shares. Did I stumble up something?

I'll see what copying the folder back that I am moving to my windows desktop and back again does. Silly me used my laptop with WiFi as apposed to my desktop with 10Gb/s

That means none of the files are in use. I don't get why balance doesn't work.

That is two of us. I have the owner of the shared files to be my TECH account which is a member of root and all the other admin groups. Could this be a problem?

What is the output of: sudo lsof +D /srv/ -nP

After I enter my Sudo password, it just returns to a blank line, ready for input

It may or may not be interesting, but I have an rsync job that runs every night to copy my production server to my backup server. It seems to run without issue. At least the email I get shows the files that were copied and "Success".

Nope. Still errors out on a file in the same season folder.

I'm not sure what I did the first time, but I tried again and SUDO worked.

Quote from ryecoaaron

If sudo can't copy it, that tells me that the file is either in a bad state or in use.

I just tried it on plex and it plays fine. Prior to that, wouldn't the reboot free up any locks on the files?

Same same, Sir. I guess we will see what copying to my desktop and then back will do - unless you have more suggestions.

Same error, same file. I'm copying the folder to my desktop and then back to the nas in the hopes it resets the permissions. Although not a feasible solution if might give us some insight.

I will say that when I first build my pool and started restoring from my backup, I saw a few of these errors. I think I copied them to my workstation desktop and then copied them back and they worked. This is obviously a much bigger job.

that doesn't surprise me. Run these commands before the cp:

sudo mkdir /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-87d9441e-03a4-46e9-9663-1c63b401aa79/Movies

sudo chgrp users /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-87d9441e-03a4-46e9-9663-1c63b401aa79/Movies

then try the cp

I still got the permission denied. But, you had me create the dir for movies. The currently failing file is in television. Should I use that instead?

Again, I appreciate you and your knowledge.

Oops. I added the CP and still a permission denied..

forum.openmediavault.org/wsc/index.php?attachment/39024/

I get a permission denied message when trying that.

I assume it lists the four branches that the file being moved is not presently on.

Before you do that, can you try moving a file from one drive to the new drive? You could do this by copying directly from the drive (not the mergerfs pool) to the pool or the new drive. I would use the command line or winscp or something similar to do that.

Although I'm not ignorant of the 'nix command line, I'm not sure how I would go about this. I'm ok with cp or mv, but I'm not sure about getting it to the new drive. I do have SSH access and I've used winscp before.

Ok, I removed the offending files only to be presented with another group which I also removed. I was then presented with another group. Is there a way I can reset permissions for the entire pool?
