Your permissions for AUser are not what I expect.  Normal, they should be rwx------.  Having you been making permissions changes with SSH?  I don't specifically know how that could cause this error, but it's not a good idea.  And if it wasn't you who made the change, I wonder if it's related.

MHi,

 

Once again thanks for the replies.

I will change share permissions.

I have ordered a new 2TB drive, compatible with the existing as I noted msadm -D /dev/md0 was reporting /dev/sdc as removed. Having checked that the drives are physically fitted correctly I am assuming that sdc is not behaving itself 😉

Additionally the RAID is marked as Read Only.

If the change of HDD resolves the problem I will report back

 

Many thanks,

 

jB 😎

    Generally that means the NAS is seeing BTRFS errors that it thinks are putting your data at risk.  If you have no backup, then you should definitely make one before doing anything else.
