RN104 Permissions denied and unable to change settings
Hi there, I have 2 identical RN104 units, same drives, same data, same firmware version (latest) however one of the units has recently stopped allowing any changes to data or settings. Trying...
Are you seeing anything that suggests the volume is mounted as read-only?
Hi Stephan,
Not at all - all shares are clearly labelled as read/write in the file browser of web UI. Looking through macOS get info I can see that all user have read write access.
Not having the ability to change any setting - especially enable SSH suggests something more sinister that just access to data being the issue.
I have just tried reinstalling the OS via the boot menu but no change in behaviour.

If the NAS finds an issue with the volume, it will sometimes mount it read-only. The settings for the shares would still say read/write (but you wouldn't be able to write anyway).
Try looking at the volume settings page, and maybe at the log zip file.
Right then... Nothing listed in the volumes page or the settings. I have looked through the volumes.log file and do not see any errors reported.
Is there another log file I should look at?
