FIX: No permissions when accessing certain Unraid SMB shares via Linux/Dolphin
It's been about a year since I have switched to Linux, and a solid 6 months since I have touched Windows. I noticed that when I tried modifying files in my Media Unraid share, I would get a permission denied error. I couldn't remember when this started happening, so I chocked it up to Unraid being weird, and would often try running the Unraid Docker Safe New Perms tool to "fix" the issue. The problem is, it never worked, so I just assumed it was some docker container messing everything up.
Then I noticed my girlfriend, who uses Windows, was able to modify files in the Media share, which confused me as our users have the same permissions for that share.
Turns out Linux does not play nice with Unraid shares where the security is set to "Secure". You either need to make the share fully public or private.
I am not sure which distros/file managers have this issue, but from what I gathered, this is an issue that plagues other distros/file managers and not just Fedora KDE/Dolphin.
Hope this helps! 🐧📁
