R7000 NAS Drive Can't Delete Files Folders Permissions Issue User \ Nobody
I have the R7000 with a Seagate STBV4000100 4TB USB 3.0 drive connected. I can connect to it just fine, drive shares work etc. From a WIN 7 64bit OS system using windows explorer I can create folders...
After a few reformats of the drive, it worked for me. The files on the eSata drive are exactly like the "standard" Windows Explorer. I can save, load, delete, change properties etc... Since it worked, I had to power down the router once, and after a restart, nothing had changed. Everything still working. (except the bad 5G wifi, and the "freaky" interface, but that was like before)...
Hi All,
Have you tried to use the beta firmware for this router? You can check this link.

I have the same problems that have been listed above:
Cannot delete files/directories due to user/nobody problem
Usually when this happens, the entire previous contents of the directory are lost.
I have just updated to firmware to Firmware Version
V1.0.4.30_1.1.6
The firmware version you show (1.0.5.44 etc) is not available on my screen.
I am also scanning and fixing the disc drive with windows.
Can anyone tell me if the new firmware and fixing the drive resolves the problem as it's not clear from the earlier posts that there is a fix. I just can't believe that Netgear would not fix this after 2 years.
