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)...
My drive was formatted at NTFS and when I finally hooked it up to a W7 system to clean it up I would get error messages saying the drive needed to be formatted, do you want to format it now. However, if I canceled the message I could see the files.
At this point I ran into problems trying to copy the files to another drive where Windows would tell me the files were no longer available. I'm not sure what to make of all of this but my backup/archive drive won't be residing on a Nighthawk anymore.
I will add that I was able to copy some of the 'uncopyable' files on the suspect drive when I changed the drive to USB2 from USB3...so it might have something to do with a USB3 issue which is what I used on the R7000 to write the files in the first place.
Go figure.
