NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Hi all,

New to the forum, looking for some assistance regarding some very strange permissions issues on my NV+2.

Last week I was experiencing the 'device is offline, please wait error'. I then re-built the OS twice and somehow managed to regain access to the front view.

Since then, I've been unable to access my shares through Windows (no permissions) but can access using DLNA (through a WDTV Live Player and Windows Media Player to name some examples).

I would be more than happy to wipe the NAS and start again but am also experiencing issues with backups on one particular share; including, "Reason for failure: Unable to access source path" and when using putty to SSH in, it only displays 10 out of 100 folders in the share (when DLNA can see the complete directory listing).

I can also see the full directory listing (all 100 folders) in the front view share browser.

Would really appreciate any advise/ideas on how to fix the perms or just backup the problem share so I can restore the NAS.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Scott.
