I lost my permissions / This file is in use
I was transferring some files from one directory to another on my ReadyNAS 204, in during the transfer it quit out on me. Since then I cannot amend a file, delete. Move or create. I have logged into my Admin, and the story is the same, I can not delete or remove, yet when I check the permissions, Guest (and it is only me that uses the NAS) have full permission W / R / D.
I can read files, and access then, and can every make copies of them off the NAS, but rename, move, delete and create, any modification on the NAS, is a no.
It won’t allow me to create any new user groups, I am fully stumped, I done everything apart form a factory reset and I don’t want to lose data.
Can anyone help?

Did you try going to the file access tab in the share settings, and click on the reset control on the left?
I did, It won't allow me to modify anything at all, in the GUI or via a normal file access option with a browser. It kept saying I didn't have permission, desipte having logged in as the admistrator.
Since then, I lost all the directories, apart form my two root directories, while I was looking at file, via a browser, it a complete mystery, I am stumped and it looks like I have lost alot of data.
What status are you seeing with RAIDar? ( https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar )
Something definitely went wrong. Do you have a backup of the data?
