Resilio Sync lost permissions to write after update


Hello!
I have a Readynas Ultra 6 with a firmware 6.9.3 installed.
And i have Resilio Sync installed. That apped worked perfectly until last update to version 2.5.12. 
After the update all folders give an error:

Don't have permissions to write to selected folder.
 
The app was writing to my home folder  /data/home/andy/Sync/  with no probs before.

 

Then i updated to ver. 2.6.0, but the problem persists.

 

I checked the folder ownership. Its andy:users.
The users andy and admin belong to users group.
As far as i found out, Resilio workes from admin name. So why on earth it lost the permisions, i cant figure out.
Please help!

    Hi ANDYMIH, you might have quotas enabled and the area resilio is allowed to write to is "full". So, try to continue with quotas disabled, if possible. Good luck with fixing and kind regards.

      Start by confirming that your volume hasn't become read-only.  The simplest way to do that is to copy a file from a PC.

       

      Once that is done, I suggest resetting the file permissions for the share.  This is done by clicking the share settings wheel, then "settings".  Click on the file access tab, and you will see a reset control on the lower left.

       

      >>> The users andy and admin belong to users group.

      admin should be in the admin group.

      Hi!

       

      No, its not quotas, because Sync can write in its own folder, and i can copy files to my home folder from my pc for example.

      Thatnks for the try !!!

        That proves that the volume isn't read only.  You should still try resetting the file permissions though.
