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)...
I'm still working with Netgear support via email. So far they had me try resetting to factory defaults. Didn't work.
It does seem to be random too. I was using the windows backup feature and it had created 5 or so backup sets. I decided to delete them and I could only delete 4 (the 5th was not being held open be the backup application). Point is the same process created them and then only could delete 4 of 5. Weird.
I currently have 1 folder which prompts me for the user\nobody permissions and one which I get no errors when I try to delete it... it just doesn't go away.
They really need to incorporate a reset-rights on all files options or other management tool.
I can fix them all by connecting the drive to my PC, but holding off so Netgear support has these examples....
