How to correctly setup NFS folder permissions
Hello, I've read recently that NFS might be more performant than SMB. Since I'm on linux, I wanted to give it a go. I'm on a RN102 running Readynas 6.10.3. Here is my setup on the NAS: - NFS a...

If I am understanding you correctly, you have already configured the share to be owned by MyUser/MyGroup.
What you need to do to apply that setting to all the existing subfolders and files is to click on the "reset" control on the file access share for the share.
Though the warning says it will change permissions to the defaults, you'll find it actually resets the owner/group to the configured value (MyUser/MyGroup in your case).

Thanks for the hint. Is there any way to see/set them from the UI? My goal was to modify things from ssh as little as possible.
Here is the result of getfacl for the same Some_Folder as above:
# getfacl /NAS/Some_Folder/ getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: NAS/Some_Folder/ # owner: root # group: root user::rwx user:MyUser:rwx group::rwx group:MyUser:rwx mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:user:MyUser:rwx default:group::rwx default:group:MyUser:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::---

Some additional info about the acl when I change the File Access:
When I remove the r/w on folder owner and folder group:
user::--- user:MyUser:rwx #effective:--- group::--- group:MyUser:rwx #effective:--- mask::--- other::--- default:user::--- default:user:MyUser:rwx #effective:--- default:group::--- default:group:MyUser:rwx #effective:--- default:mask::--- default:other::---
The effective is then, no rights for MyUser.
When I set back the r/w permission for folder owner and group, and remove the r/w permission on MyUser:
user::rwx group::rwx mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::---
