ReadyNAS Pro - windows xp & 7 cannot access certain files
Going nuts with this problem.
Media share is theoretically open to all
Have just regone through the suggestions here http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=46027
just to make sure.
So read/write for all, and all with users nobody / nogroup
When i ssh into the nas and look at folders, all true
Here a listing
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 nobody nogroup 4096 2012-09-22 11:53 Art Deco Icons
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 nobody nogroup 4096 2013-01-31 21:49 Big Art S01E01
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 nobody nogroup 4096 2012-09-22 11:53 Big Art S01E02
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 nobody nogroup 4096 2012-09-22 11:53 Big Art S01E03
Problem is with for example Win7 64bit, i can happily browse the first folder Art Deco Icons, but for the other three folders get "is not accessible" / Access is denied
Anyone got an idea what the problem is ?

- an OS reinstall will only clear your admin password and network settings
- ahh ok !
- well its late here now - 01.50
but i'll give that ago in the morning, and let you know the results
thanks - your admin password will go back to default "netgear1" and as long as it can reach the DHCP server it will just pull an address if not it will be 192.168.168.168
- ok done that
- does not seem to have made any difference though - ok seem to have to solved this by changing the owner on all files
it was using nobody and nogroup
whereas i've now changed it to a specific user, (left the group as it was)
and it seems to have done the trick - I am curious - if you set it back to nobody does the problem come back?
I am suspecting not. - if i set it back, the problem does definately come back !
and i now seem to have 1 folder, which i still can't access, wether as username or nobody
- anyone got any suggestions, or ideas what the problem is here ? - If you enable ssh access you could see the linux owners and permissions, and compare the inaccessible folder with the rest.
- i have, i'm doing the chmod, chown via ssh
Thats the point, under ssh, the owners and permissions are fine - Have you tried resetting owner,group and permissions via frontview?
