ReadyNas DUO backup error - 'read only file system'
Hello community, I hope you can help me with an issue i'm having with my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) running Raidiator 4.1.14. At night it runs a backup job which copies a folder from a computer on the LAN...

Hi joah,
Aside from trying StephenB and JennCs suggestions, if you will create a test share, can you tell us if you will experience the same read-only behavior?
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,

Hi Brian,
I created a share called 'test' and gave that the exact same CIFS settings as my backup share. (ie. under 'advanced CIFS permission' i checked 'Automatically set permissions for new files and folders', and unchecked 'Enable Oplocks for this share'). Also, under Advanced Options i changed the Share-folder owner from 'nobody' to 'admin', just like it is set up in my backup share.
Next, I changed the backup task to copy to the 'test' share. The task is set to copy all data the first time and then go incremental after that. I've just started the first complete backup, so it faces the same situation tonight, when it starts its (incremental) backup routine. Fingers crossed... :)
