Permissions change to read only\ missing share
I'm having a number of issues with my NV+ that have just started after years of reliable service It all started with a drive failure which has been replaced, everything synced fine but I had permi...
It sounds like I am having a very similar problem.
I have had an NV+ [4.1.6] for several years without problem. Home use machine, Media server.
Recently I started to accumulate SMART errors on a Seagate 1TB drive.
I ultimately RMA'd the drive. The replacement: BARRACUDA ES 7200 SATA 1000 GB should be completely compatible.
I swapped out the bad drive and the NV+ sync'd itself and everything was fine. I was able to access files (not sure abt writes at that point).
A few days later I lost connection to the NAS. Raidar could not find it, it was running but unresponsive to pings or from the power button. Ultimately I had to pull the plug. Again, it came up, np, resync'd and sent me an email that the device was shut down incorrectly... The unit came back and every thing seemed fine, I could see all my mounts from PC's (XP 2002 sp3).
I started getting emails, from the NAS that the backups were failing, could not write, file protection errors...
Job: 003
Protocol: cifs
Source: //192.168.0.115/solderfolder
Destination: [dad-pc]/backup
cp: preserving times for `/dad-pc/backup/Anniversary': Read-only file system
I looked at my mounted dirs from the NAS and found that I can read from them but not write to them. I can't create a folder... Permission denied.
I can access the mounted USB volume and that is writeable.
The owner of the non writeable folders are listed as: NAS-SOLDER\admin. I have a user account that I usually connect with "Dad" . I see some folders with the owner NAS-SOLDER\Dad, but most are admin. I never connect to the NAS from the PC as admin. That is only my frontview login.
I have not changed any of the share settings.
My primary share "Media" has Default access disabled and Dad as a "Write enabled" user.
The advanced options: admin/nogroup rw rw. None of these settings have changed in over a year.
Before I start changing things I wanted to see if this is a known problem and if there was a thread that addressed this issue. I have not found one yet.
I have a Public share that is default access r/w with r/w for everything. Again, I cannot create a folder here or drag a file into a folder either.
Lastly, when i started seeing the problem, I tried to disconnect mounted dirs and I started getting errors "There are open files, are you sure you want to disconnect..." I have never seen those messages before.
I'm stumped and could use some direction.
TIA
