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)...
Thanks for the update. Please post any more info you get?
My files are all in individual folders. The one I'm having problems with is an empty folder. I don't want to delete anything else right now, but I'll try later and see if a used folder, not an empty one can be deleted.
Hmm, just tried doing a MOVE from the USB to my PC using Explorer. That DID work. The folder and files inside it are gone from the USB? Makes no sense? I just tried deleting the empty folder and it fails with the permissions error?
