Can't create an NFS share

[survive]

Hi guys,

I just installed RC-5 and it seems I can't create a Unix share. I have done all the basic system & network configuration and volume creation and have a share created and authenticating with AD, but when I go to "Add Unix Share" I simply get a FreeNAS pop-up window that says "Sorry, an error occurred". I have the NFS service started.

This may have something to do with AD. The NFS share dialog attempts to fetch the users and groups available to the system for use in the maproot and mapall sections.

If this is the problem switching off AD will allow the page to load properly.

Firefox + Firebug will give access to the underlying django traceback which will be useful in troubleshooting.

Are other aspects of AD working as expected?

Hi John,

I did a quick install last night just to check and see how things were coming along. I have AD authentication set up and it appears that my users are being imported properly. AD was a bit crabby about importing them, I had to actually reboot for it to come up & get the users.

I'll have to look at it more thoroughly tonight. I'll disable the AD service & see if that changes anything. I'll also run a "freenas-debug" & see how things look there.

I did speak to one user on IRC last night who saw the same behavior. I believe he runs AD auth as well.

Hi jhixson,

As john requested I disabled the Active Directory service and was able to get the Unix share creation window.

I have installed firebug, but don't know what to do with it....if you can tell me what you need I would be happy to provide it.

Hi jhixson,

As john requested I tried getting a traceback using Firefox + Firebug.

Attached is the what I think is the error.

Hi Will,

In Firebug, if you could click the "All" tab, there will be a line with a "GET" request and a "+" to the left of it, if you click that you will get html dump of the page, from there please click on the "HTML" tab that now appears and upload a screenshot. This will help me debug this issue.

Hi John,

Please take a look at the 2 attached files.

I receive the same error message creating NFS shares. However, I have LDAP enabled, not Active Directory.

If I disable the LDAP service, the dialog displays properly.

After upgrading to FreeNAS-8.0-RELEASE-amd64 from FreeNAS-8.0-RC5-amd64, I can now create NFS shares with LDAP enabled. The LDAP users and groups are properly displayed in the GUI for selection.

I CAN HAZ INFO PLS?

I turned off active directory and I can now create the nfs share

Ok... so issues still exist in the permissions panes, but this is definitely a known problem that needs to seriously be buffed and polished in future (not 8.2, but the one after) releases.
