So I’m on plex scanning my library to get new videos added and they show up briefly then quickly disappear. So I looked into logs and plex is spitting out a boat load of permission denied logs.
Background: my plex is a vm in proxmox with its data in a cifs share stored on my truenas scale box. This has been working great for years.
I go take a look on my truenas scale dataset and sure enough, the acl is wonky.
I used to have plex as owner and group as well as permissions for several other users. Now the owner is polkitd which seems to be a service used in Linux for policy auth and permissions. Obviously I’m no Linux master, but i can fiddle.
Anyway the user I use to mount the share is no longer in the acl. Somehow it can still mount the share though?
So question, who the f is this polkitd, and who the hell do they think they are messing with my plex time?
More seriously, is there a reason polkitd would take ownership or modify an acl like this? Where would I look in logs for this?
Yeah thats tough. I hate when they do that. The beauty is, it doesnt matter. Usually I just drop a mid number and agile seems to give the flexibility to change that as you identify the true scope of work. Do what you can in the sprint, but eventually update the points to match or break it up and adjust points best you can at that point. Given I haven’t been doing agile long, so I could be missunderstanding how it should work.
