File Permissions Messed Up After HDD Change On PC
Hey Guys I have an issue with my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus (4.2.30), where I cannot copy anything to any of the directories on it, or delete, move any files. The only thing I can do is copy files from the ReadyNas to my PC, but nothing else. This seemed to have occured after I upgraded the HDD on my PC to an SSD and clean installed Windows 7. How the hell do I get back my permissions? I've searched and everything I read makes my brain melt. So much so I gave up three months ago and have only just got round to checking on this issue again. Has anyone had this issue who knows how to recify this nifghtmare? I need to take back ownership of these files.Solved3KViews0likes2Comments
Trimming SSD
Hi We have just put 2 Samsung 850 Evo SSD drives into our RN 4220 as a test. I have read through the support forums and found this thread about trimming SSD: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-to-ReadyNAS/Readynas-OS6-SSD-and-TRIM/m-p/1101913#U1101913 I was wondering if it was possible to schedule a weekly cron job instead to run fstrim on the SSD volume? Would that work instead of using the discard mounting option? Something like this taken from this link: https://turriebuntu.wordpress.com/ubuntu-pages/precise-specific-pages/using-fstrim-to-trim-your-ssd-instead-of-delete-in-fstab/ #!/bin/sh LOG=/var/log/trim.log echo "*** $(date -R) ***" >> $LOG fstrim -v /SSD-Volume-Mount-Point >> $LOG If that works, it would probably be a good addition to the suggested items for ReadyNas too as you could schedule it using the web interface.4.5KViews0likes3Comments
RN204 SSD "Boot" Drive
I'm thinking of deploying a RN204 and I won't need all four bays for storage (casual storage - media files). Worse case (for the foreseeable future) would be two. So I'm wondering what are the up and down sides of using a SSD for Drive 1 (the boot drive). I have a Samsung SSD Pro (10 year warranty) that I could use. I'm presuming it would boot and perform OS functions somewhat faster. My data drive(s) if created as a separate volume would be more independent. Such as they could be installed and work in a new installation? Within the relatively same release/hardware. Way back when I installed a SSD and played around and wasn't overly impressed with the enhanced performance so I'm wondering what if anything has changed.3.7KViews0likes11Comments
