Files on ReadyNAS read only after saving
Hi, we're using a ReadyNAS NVX with 4.2.5 Each time a user with Win7x64 opens an office file, edits and saves it afterwards, the file becomes read only for this specific user. We're working with Ac...
You're running 4.2.5 not 4.2.15? 4.2.5 (http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_x86_4_2_5_Notes) is incredibly old firmware that was released months before Windows 7. It's high likely that 4.2.5 is not fully compatible with Windows 7 and that you should update the firmware on your ReadyNAS. If you haven't already got one I would suggest doing a backup of the data stored on the ReadyNAS first.
Much has changed in the ReadyNAS firmware over the past couple of years and it's quite possible a firmware update has addressed your issue. You can read through the various release notes e.g. http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_x86_4_2_7_Notes, http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_x86_4_2_8_Notes etc. or compare the GPL (open-source code used by the ReadyNAS, there's a lot of private code that's obviously not in the GPL) if you're after some more technical info as to what's been updated and you're familiar with what packages are used on Linux:
You can see there's been updates to things like ACL (used for setting permissions on files) and samba (used for windows file sharing). Samba version 3.0.34 in 4.2.5. Samba 3.5.8 is in 4.2.17. I just did a google search and from a quick glance it appears Windows 7 could well have issues with such an old samba version being used as is in 4.2.5.
What version of Office are you running? If using Office 2007 and WebDAV Did you look at the link chirpa gave (now has a new location): http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/share/why_are_files_read-only_when_using_webdav_on_vista_with_office_2007

You can see there's been updates to things like ACL (used for setting permissions on files) and samba (used for windows file sharing). Samba version 3.0.34 in 4.2.5. Samba 3.5.8 is in 4.2.17. I just did a google search and from a quick glance it appears Windows 7 could well have issues with such an old samba version being used as is in 4.2.5.
