I recently updated (unfortunately) both VMWare Workstation Pro and TrueNAS. After the update I got onto a problem that when run a VM from a locale computer that its files are located on an SMB share on my TrueNAS (the SMB share is mounted as disk in Windows), probably VMWare changes the permissions of the files (the .vmx file and some more), applying ACL permissions and removing everything else. This makes it impossible to access the VM after a restart of the local machine if I do not go to the TrueNAS shell and manually do:
setfacl -b *
chmod 770 *
inside the VM folder.
At TrueNAS I have not set any ACL and to be exact I tried resetting ACL permissions and removing them all together.
I know that running VMs from an SMB share is not ideal but this is the setup at hand for the time being. Does anyone know why this behavior happens? Is there anything I can do to avoid it.
