Cannot access USB disk; nwk password required
I have had a possible disk failure on a hard disk attached to the Netgear Readynas server. After having swapped the possibly failing HD with a new one I can no longer access the USB drive. If I try...
Well, yes. There's not much there to see. Or I am missing something?
Under Volumes > USB Storage there are no settings, just the status, that looks fine. The new is identical to the old, apart from "Description" being different.
Under Shares > Shares Listing > Shares on USB Storage Devices both look almost identical (apart from Description being different), with one exception:
--Password is blank
--CIFS:
Default Access: Read/Write
Share Access Restrictions and the following options: not ticked
--AFP:
Default access: Read/Write
--HTTP/S:
Default access: Read/Write
No other restrictions
--Advanced Options:
Share folder owner: "root" on the NEW HD, but it is "USB_HDD_5", = the share name, on the OLD, accessible drive
Share folder group: root
The three "rights" are all Read/write (the first one is greyed out)
"Set ownership and permissions....": not ticked
"Grant rename and delete privileges...": ticked
In the advanced options I changed root to USB_HDD_14 (=the share name) for the new disk but it changed nothing.
Also, forgot:
Running radiator version 4.1.13 on the ReadyNas NV+
