Hello,
I just set up a NAS using Ubuntu 24 LTS, mergerFS & snapRAID. I am new to using Ubuntu, mergerFS & snapRAID but I did follow some guides via YouTube videos on setting them up. The drive pool has been created and snapRAID is working as expected however, I have what may be an easy question that I can't quite figure out.
Following the guide, the mount point for mergerFS pool is at /mnt/storage which I have no issues accessing and adding/removing files via terminal using sudo or as root however, since the owner of the /mnt/storage location is root, my user account on the machine cannot write files to /mnt/storage and I cannot share it via samba. I know changing the overall permissions to 777 to allow it is risky and not worth it and I'm sure there is another way that I should be writing files to the location without logging in as root but again, I'm new with this and still learning. Any advice/help will be appreciated.
mergerFS v2.33.5
