    Hello Phil_in_CA,

     

    After backing up data and before proceeding to factory reset, try OS reinstall from the boot menu first then see if that helps.

     

    Regards,

    Hello Phil_in_CA,

     

    I apologize but what exactly do you mean by you lost permission to modify drive?

     

    Please include more information such as firmware version and the RAID level.

     

    Usually, RAID level by default is XRAID which is a mirror RAID on ReadyNAS Duo units. This allows the user to get one faulty disk and still retrieve the files.

     

    Regards,

      Hi Jenn,

       

      Funny, I thought I put that information into the header for my query... you can tell I don't post here much, huh?

       

      Anyway, Firmware is RAIDiator 4.1.10 [1.00a043], XRaid (default).

       

      What I mean is that I no longer have permission to create folders or write files to my drives... no more permission to do anything but read files.  I went into Frontview to see if I could renew my permissions but couldn't figure out how to do that.  Examples I found on the forum or elsewhere on the Internet were, evidently, for later versions of RAIDiator and were not applicable, I guess...  I don't know much, but have had my two Duos for a very long time, and they have worked perfectly.

       

      Anything you can suggest would be gratefully accepted.

        Something else...  I found this interesting, but don't know what it means...

        It suggests that "nobody" is the share folder owner.....
