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)...
Just upgraded my router from Asus AC56 to R7000 and started having similar problems.
In my case I discovered that if I try to execute a program (ie, install from the router share) sometimes after the program is executed it will show as a 0 byte file. I then get a message that the file is no longer in that location and can not be deleted.
Firmware is V1.0.3.60_1.1.27 although having just checked it I see there is a newer version now but none of the fixes seem to address the file system.
