Access issues after Firmware upgrade
Hi Everyone, I just upgraded the firmware on our ReadyNAS 1500 to RAIDiator 4.2.26. Immediately after the firmware upgrade, all users folders could not be accessed anymore. I checked the permissi...
I'm not an expert, but based on my own problems, maybe the following observations are helpful. I really don't know if the info is accurate or not (reassuring, huh?)
The ability for a client to mount shares is, as best I can tell, not based on Linux file and folder permissions, but rather on the configuration files for the network file access protocol you are using. Access to SMB (also know as CIFS or Windows file sharing) for example is, as best I can tell, governed by the file /etc/frontview/samba/Shares.conf
If you have shell access, you might look at this file, and see who the allowed users are. I best I can tell, users authorized to mount the share will be listed, and the entries for shares enabled for CIFS access will not contain the text "available = 0". I wouldn't change the file from the shell, but if the settings are wrong, you might disable and then reenable CIFS in Frontview, as well as for the individual shares, and see if the errors are corrected and you regain access.
Each service has it's own configuration file; I think AFP (apple file protocol, for access on a Mac) is likely /etc/frontview/netatalk/Shares.conf
Again, these comments are just based on my own observations and guessing, use at your own risk!
