No permission to access USB drive and abnormal reboot
Got two problems when using ReadyNAS 102. 1. We use USB HDD for scheduled backup of some NAS folders to it. It worked fine for a while, until we once unplugged the HDD from NAS USB port and used ...
Hi llyal82,
Welcome to the community!
When an external USB hard drive is connected to your ReadyNAS, it creates a temporary share and has its own permission. Whenever it's unplugged or ejected, the permission resets to R/W default access with no guest /or anonymous access. So if you want to access it or run a backup job through it, ensure the anonymous access is ticked. If it still won't work, connect it to your PC and run the Windows Disk-Error checking tool.
With regard to your shutdown issue, does the power schedule /or timer feature enabled?
Kind regards,

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the reply.
Anonymous access was allowed and no errors on the disk were found under Windows. Tried one more time to erase the disk under Windows and plug it back to the NAS - and now it works fine! No idea what was that, but thanks anyway!
As for the shutdown issue, all the power schedule and timer feature options are off.
Regards,
Ilya
After a failed shutdown can you download the logs and send them in (noting roughly when you shutdown the system).
