"OS6" - a question or three
First, a direct question: I'm currently running my Pro BE's with 5 or 6 disks using "x-raid2" and "dual redundancy." (RAID6 with the xraid2 expansion scheme.) I downloaded the manual for one of...
Okay... (I left work a bit early on the grounds that I'm testing this thing FOR work... heh..)
I plug in a USB drive to the front port. It attaches, gets mounted, and shared as "USB_HDD_5." Protocols are "SMB", "AFP" and "HTTP." SMB+AFP perms are "Everyone, read/write", HTTP perms has Everyone unchecked.
I turn OFF HTTP and AFP and apply. The little green indicator turns off for AFP and HTTP. For SMB, I change the perms to "Everyone" is not checked, added "Domain Users" and read/write. (Using active directory for security.) I apply, then click "OK."
Wait 10 seconds and then click to EJECT the USB device. Physically unplug the USB device. Wait over 30 seconds. Plug the USB device back in...
It attaches, gets mounted, and shared as "USB_HDD_5" (again.) The permissions all reverted to SMB, AFP and HTTP all being on. SMB is configured for "Everyone" having read/write, AFP being read/write (and allow anon), and HTTP being turned on, but "everyone" is not checked.
Therefore, to confirm, the settings changes are definitely lost and are not applied when I reconnect the same disk without reformatting. This wouldn't be so much of an issue if the permissions it defaulted to were extremely restrictive (instead of being as permissive as possible.)
Take care
