Folders and files out of sync [RN104]
I purchased a ReadyNAS 104 a couple of months ago and have been using it without much of an issue, however I recently noticed something quite strange. When copying certain files and folders to the NA...
I have found a solution to this problem, by logging into the admin page, then going to shares>settings>file access>reset and clicking the 'reset permissions' button and then resetting the file permissions to the previous setting. This seems to sort out the issues I was having with it. The underlying problem that caused this however has not been fixed, I had 'folder owner' checked for read/write access as well as the actual share owner for good measure which now works after resetting the permissions but seemed to be causing issues before. I suspect the file permissions got improperly applied, translated or corrupted when using one of the ReadyCLOUD remote clients.
BrianL,
I have selected the share user as the folder owner and group as 'users' as with my other shares. I did notice the ReadyCLOUD users were greyed out under file access but I assume that gets handled automatically anyway. When resetting it, it did set permissions to guest but after switching back to the previous settings it is now working fine. I cannot do anything to replicate the problem but I highly suspect it is not a configuration issue as it only occurred with certain folders from remote ReadyCLOUD clients which now does not exhibit this problem.
I have several other shares also with similar settings but different users and a similar amout of remote/local clients but have not had any issues with these as far as I'm aware. It could have just been a random glitch that occurred when handling file permissions that hopefully won't occur again but searching the internet returned several other forum posts with people experiencing similar issues.
I'll keep you updated if this problem occurs again in the future.
