Recently I upgraded my Ubuntu server to 16 and installed Veracrypt and samba to share the mounted drive with my windows computers. I can access the unmounted Veracrpt files fine but there seems to be a problem when I mount a drive on my Ubuntu box then try and share that folder. I was on Ubuntu 12 before all this. Example below...
You can see here for some reason my share is working but the folder is not accessable.
After playing around a bit more I found out it was not necessarily this folder. Any file or folder that was created by Veracrypt seems to have strange access not belonging to any group. Apparently this can't be changed. Even running nautilus as root will not allow me to switch he access to something else. It keeps switching back to None. I thought about using chmod 777 but that does not sound right to me, it's over kill. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I would suggest posting this in a Linux forum as opposed to a Veracrypt forum. While many people here, including myself, use Linux, this is a question which experienced Linux users could answer.
Hello, I tried posting this on a ubuntu forum but recived no responces. Is there a way to pre assign a veracrpt volume an access level or certain permissions?
I thought of trying to use "mount as removable" on my ubuntu server to try and increase permissions but It did not seem to have any effect.
