NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Hi all,

New to the forum, looking for some assistance regarding some very strange permissions issues on my NV+2.

Last week I was experiencing the 'device is offline, please wait error'. I then re-built the OS twice and somehow managed to regain access to the front view.

Since then, I've been unable to access my shares through Windows (no permissions) but can access using DLNA (through a WDTV Live Player and Windows Media Player to name some examples).

I would be more than happy to wipe the NAS and start again but am also experiencing issues with backups on one particular share; including, "Reason for failure: Unable to access source path" and when using putty to SSH in, it only displays 10 out of 100 folders in the share (when DLNA can see the complete directory listing).

I can also see the full directory listing (all 100 folders) in the front view share browser.

Would really appreciate any advise/ideas on how to fix the perms or just backup the problem share so I can restore the NAS.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Scott.

What firmware are you running? 5.x.x or 4.1.x?

Re: NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

O.K. Your 4GB OS partition is full.

I think the first one of those is the output of df -h and the second for df -i

You likely have a large log file or two that is filling it up.

Re: NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Still not it. You need to keep looking at other directories on the OS partition.

Re: NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Hi MDGM,

Just been through all the directories on the OS using du -csh /???/* and still the largest one was /usr at 296mb. Just to let you know, when I used du -csh /c/* (c being my share letter) it listed the full directory, including the folders I mentioned in the original post, but then when I went 'cd /c' and then 'ls' it only listed 10 folders (again as per the original post). Any other ideas would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Again, not sure if it is relevant, but the MOVIES share as above is the problem share, it seems it doesn't have '-> c/********' following it like the other 5 do.

To me, it seems like there's a directory, named MOVIES on the root, using 3.4GB. That must be the files I see when I list the share, instead of the ones stored on /c/MOVIES

Re: NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Looks like that's it.

That /MOVIES folder is filling up the OS partition.

You could move it to /c/MOVIES (if that directory doesn't exist) or perhaps delete it.

Do you know what created that share? Perhaps an add-on or other service is somehow configured incorrectly?

Re: NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Yeah, seems to be it. I'm happy to delete it, but I'm just a little paranoid in case I delete the /c/MOVIES share instead. Any idea how I can access the /c/MOVIES so I can backup the data on it to USB?

I'm not sure what created the share as the only add-on I have is Enable-RootSSH and I've since rebuilt the OS - which I presume removes the addons?

An OS Re-install doesn't remove add-ons.

I have made some progress. If I start at root and use 'ls /c/MOVIES', I can see all the folders as they should be. I can also use 'cp -r /c/MOVIES /USB_HDD_1/MOVIES', to backup the data but getting an input/output error.

Re: NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Yeah i think I'm going to have to.

So being that I copy backup the data (once the USB is working again), would you suggest I do that and then just re-build the NAS from scratch rather than fixing the perms issue?

Re: NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Sounds like a good plan. Though if the USB disk has issues then replacing it with a new USB disk would be the way to go. But other than that your plan sounds good.

Re: NV+2 - Accessible by DLNA, not by NFS/SMB #24513857

Agreed. It's strange tho as the hard drive is only two days old and I managed to backup 4 out of the 5 shares to it before attempting the 5th, at which point I got the error.

Regardless, will give it a crack! Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it!!
