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've been having this problem for the past day, and it's a brand new HDD that I'm trying to copy all of my essential folders from a smaller USB 2.0 drive that isn't recognized by the router so I'm manually having to plug it into the laptop to transfer the things over wirelessly. Although every large folder I transfer over comes with a number of random copy and location errors so when I try to find the files that didn't pass over fully, I can't replace them - and then I can't delete them to start the copying over from scratch.
Is this actually harming or corrupting the harddrive when this happens? If that is the case then that is one of few straws that I can never forget or forgive.
They need to patch the firmware again, and maybe if they did that they could make more HDD's compatible with the router so I could use my WD 500GB Passport.
