Readynas DUO v2 - Lost access to files

Hi Guys,

OK the readyNAS NV+v2 uses samba. It may be worth disabling oplocks. Here is a good explaination of how oplocks works.

There is a reset permissions option which should do the same as a chmod 777 and give everyone access. If this does not work then this timestamp on the file maybe using an old instance of the permission values, which can get frustarting. In this is the case I would create a new share and transfer all the files to a public folder, then get the user to set the permissions as they would like them. Something else to note, once a user logs onto a share ensure no other computer is using the same credentials to login as this will reset the samba connection. If you are still have a permissions issue please log a ticket at this address,

Here is also a really good video that explains AD and permissions.
