Home Folder Permissions issue after account rename

This can be a bit tricky with home folders, because there is no way to reset the file permissions from the web ui.  

 

Have you checked the file ownership and group ownership of the problem files/folders?

You might also want to check with getfacl.

 

FWIW, while the home folders certainly have value for enterprises, I've found them to be more trouble than they are worth for home users.  Personally I disable all file protocols for home, which disables the feature.

Thank you for the reply.  I checked the user and group ownership multiple times and nothing appeared out of the ordinary. Also, since I have the ability to duplicate non-working folders at the root of my home folder and turn them into a working folder, I did so and then compared the user and group permissions and they were still the same between the working and non-working folders.  I also used the `getfacl` command to check settings between a working and non-working folder and they were the same too.

I also found another user describing the same issue I am experiencing after upgrading the firmware in a different readynas device: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/6-5-0-RN104-smb-home-folders-cloud-users-issue-with-permissions/m-p/1088908#M109695

I have upgraded ReadyNAS OS after I changed my account name, so this has me wondering if the issue was due to a ReadyNAS OS upgrade and not the account rename.
