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...
ok, another development.
The resync completed last night. Now that the resync is complete, i have lost the ability to write to my folders again.
I can see the file i added last night It's owned by NAS-SOLDER\Dad, which tells me that file ownerships were not changed by the re-sync, at least for this file. I see a specific folder owned by NAS-SOLDER\Dad.
If I'm connected as "Dad" I still cannot add a file to that folder that is owned by Dad.
I just tried disconnecting the shared drive and re-connecting it. It disconnected and I remounted it. When i tried dragging a file into the same folder i was able to last night, the NAS hung.
The front panel is dead, Raidar can't see it. Now I have to pull the plug and re-boot the device again, which entails another 6 hour resync. Ugh.
I HAVE NOT changed the advanced permissions on any shares in over a year. The device has gone up and down within that time frame and I have not seen this problem before.
Interestingly, I have a backup job that runs at midnight. It backs up my PC to a Share on the NAS. When the NAS permissions go bad, the job fails, cannot write to the share...
Last night when I was working on this problem, before the re-sync was complete, the backup job fired off and was successful. Which leads me to believe that by the time the rsync completed the file ownership/permissions are getting changed and is breaking things.
This is pretty frustrating.
