Hi,ReadyNas 312 Firmware 6.1.9Rsync fails due to Error = failed: Read-only file system (30) (on USB drive) Silly part is the original backup was using Rsync however when I plug the USB drive back in Rsync fails due to Read only permissions. How do I reset the File/Folder permissions on a USB drive, The "Reset File Access" area is not available on USB drives as the Settings -> File Access screens are blank.

What model USB drive?What filesystem is on the USB drive?

Hi mdgn,,,,,,,,,,,,,,your browsing/supporting late!Model USB.....does it really matter (I only ask this as I don't want to hear the "Its not on our Compatability list bit). Have being using it for 2 years on my PRO4 without issue, plus the ReadyNAS312 created the backup so it wasn't a problem until now)File-system = NTFSCheersMark

BTW: its a SAMSUNG HD204UI (2TB USB3)

Yes, I browse these forums a lot.Did you safely unmount the USB disk when disconnecting it?Personally I would recommend EXT4 over NTFS.

I always disconnect properly...........NTFS is a must in thu\is case. Every few weeks, I Rsync my Documentaries held on the NAS to this USB drive as it connects to my Rasp Pi which runs 24/7 whereas my NAS turns off at midnight :-)

Well I think the OS6 behaviour is better then.

If a filesystem on the USB disk has errors there could be problems with the backup which is something you want to know about.

Your welcome. Yes it is going well.

Personally I'd rather have a system that has greater sensitivity to errors so that I can detect a problem before it becomes too big to fix easily. It seems in this case that is exactly how OS6 has behaved.
Perhaps consider that OS4 is inferior in that it failed to detect that there was a small problem with the destination disk?

Edit: mdgm made similar point, didn't see post before I submitted mine.

Mmm well, if it was really good, it would report the error rather than just failing due to a single disk space error (caused by itself)! i am only writing this (not to have the last word) but as a suggestion..........perhaps for the OS6 OS to have a method of Checking i.e. a built in scandisk for USB drives, Food for thought.
Cheers
