Permission pro 312
I continue to struggle with my goal of migrating to a new pro 312 from my ultra plus. I created a share on my volume and then rysnc'd a share from my ultra plus. Then to test I swap host names for the nas. Then I get an argument when trying to open files on the 312, it claims I don't have permission. Logged into the NAS with admin. Tried to reset (Share-Share settings-File permissions) and then the nas complains about can't set file access, it prods (rather cryptically facl_change fail uid=99 gid=99) me to check uid & gid and despite this error message, a few minutes later I get a notice confirming success. However still no access. As an aside on initial power up I did establish a user but I really want everyone to have access and have since deleted. Another weirdness, the share's file permissions lists 2 guests. I have reset this stupid thing 4 times to factory and each time some nuttiness happens. And of course I have had no similar issues with ether my old Duo or my Ultra Plus.

- What version of ReadyNAS OS is on your 312?
- Hi,
6.1.5 - Perhaps contact support and see if they can reproduce the issue.
- Contacted support before with a similar issue during iteration number 2, the best they got for me was perform a Factory Reset. Not acceptable in my book as my entire digital life is instrusted on these gadgets and if it can't be stable and matinainbel and/or fixable it's got no place in my network. So I will try another reset and see what I can figure out. The NAS did something I don't understand at all. I created four shares on the initial start up following my last factory reset. The owners of the shares were not the same - one was root, two were 65534 and I didn't notice the fourth's owner as in frustration I had deleted it and was getting ready to recreate it, rsync the data and try yet again.
- You could of course try using SSH to change the ownership/permissions on the share but this would be unsupported.
- thanks, I have retrieved putty and will explore at some time. However right now I am on my 5th reset and I noticed the default shares the wizard make are all owned by guest. I nuked the default volume and created a new one and added my 4 shares. IN checking they all created with guest, which seems reasonable to me. Where the wacky owner came from or how is a mystery. The permission tab further reveal that guest as rw permissions. So from my perspective these permissions should be good to go with anyone on my network without any need for login the nas - rIght?
I also have created backup jobs on the 312 retrieving my live data but that's going to consume some cycles... and we will look some more now that at least I know for sure the owner of the share is guest. - If you want guest to have full r/w for all files you should only use the guest user when connecting to shares.
- Performed a factory default
Checked permissions of on “wizard” created share all owned by guest.
Removed the wizard created volume.
Recreated with new name x-raid.
Create 4 shares all owner /group were set to guest.
Created 4 backup jobs (Rsync Server to my Ultra Plus) and activated.
When the backup job is running the owner/group is being set on the share to root.
When the backup job is completed the owner and the group for the share become some phantom and unknown numeric for both owner and group.
So my question is this - this behavior of ReadyNAS 312 backup mucking about with my share owner and group can't be acceptable can it? Bug? - You were backing up to the RN312 and the RN312 shares changed owners?
Or were you backing up to the Ultra and the RN312 shares changed owners? - Data was coming from the Ultra to the 312 by backups running on the 312.
