I have a Readynas nv+ running RAIDiator 4.1.14 [1.00a043]. It has worked reasonably well for the past four years. The original setup was with 3 user shares, using "share" as the security option. A year ago I removed two of those shares because of space shortage. No problems so far. Recently this shortage issue was resolved and I added an extra share again. Because no pc was able to access the share (windows 7, windows 10, ubuntu server 14, NAS kept asking for credentials), I removed it again. Ever since I have had issues with my ubuntu machine. In windows I can move and remove files as usual, but my Ubuntu machine keeps giving the files locked error. Even if I close down all other machines in the network, it still cannot move the files. If I reset the share permissions in radiator, it can move the files without a problem. I hate to have to do this every day just for my server to work correctly.
Does anybody know why the nas is locking the files all of a sudden? It never did this before!
"Share" is not the recommended security mode - "user" works better with newer versions of windows.
Perhaps try migrating to user security mode, and set all the systems to use the same NAS user account (using the Windows Credential Manager on the Windows PCs).
If you will set up the permissions properly, you won't have any difficulty accessing your files in your computers. Just follow the article and let us know what happens.
I have changed the security mode. I have added a user with the same username and UID as my linux machine, but the problem persists. New files are not owned by the uid I gave, and the linux machine still sees them as locked files
I guess the real issue is the locked files though. Do you have oplocks enabled? You could try reversing the setting for that, and see if behavior changes.
