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)...
Possible fix.
I changed the Read / Write Access control for the root share on the R7000 from all to admin. Then mounted the network share from Windows using the admin and it's password. credentials (check the box "Connect using different credentials" when mapping the share). Files created no longer have the Read Only attribute showing in Windows, and can be deleted. I'll monitor over the next week to see if it's permanent .
