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...
- is "guest access" checked for the new drive?
What do you mean? Where is that configuration?
I can't find any such parameter in Volume or Shares settings.
-Did you also change the group to "nogroup"? when you changed to owner?
No, I did not. It is still "root" as it was by default. The accessible (old) disk has "Share folder group" set to "root" so I did not think that I should change it.
I will try deleting that group and set it to blank.
did you also check the "Set ownership and permission" box and click apply?
No, I did not. Same reason as above, the functioning old disk does not have it.
But I will try that too.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I will report back when I have tried it (tomorrow morning).
