Red circle on finder folders ReadyNAS
I've been having problems using Readycloud with finder on my mac. Here's the process I've been following: Use Readycloud to connect to my NAS via a finder window. Drag a folder (usually around 2 GB—these are photo catalogs) to a folder on my NAS. Close finder window, then re-open it to the same location. When I do this, I'm seeing a red dot on the folder with a minus sign inside. When I click on one of these folders in finder, I cannot see its contents or any information about it other than its name. (see screenshot) When I go to the Readycloud web interface, I can verify that all of my files have successfully transfered, but for some reason they are not accessible by finder. What gives? Any tips? Using OSX 10.12.6 and my ReadyNAS is running firmware 6.8.1
Explaining Permissions Mac OS X 10.11.5 / ReadyNAS OS 6.5.0 / AFP - Second Question
Following on from my First Question - https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Explaining-Permissions-Mac-OS-X-10-11-5-ReadyNAS-OS-6-5-0-AFP/m-p/1088919/thread-id/109697 This relates to accessing my 314 running OS6.5 via AFP from OS X 10.11.5 (latest El Capitan updates in place). This all for the user "admin" in ReadyNAS OS 6.5. I'm logging into via AFP using the user "admin" User "admin" (UID=98) primary group in FrontView is "admin" (GID=98) and its secondary group is "users" (GID=100) Here's what I see via SSH when I looked at the directory “test” within the share “shared” - also logged in via the user admin With the exception of the file “test - new file.txt”, these are the permissions in place after moving the directories and files from the USB backup disk of my old ReadyNAS NV+. These files were placed on the EXT3 formatted USB Backup disk but the ReadyNAS NV+ backup job, and restored to the 314 using a backup job. I checked the backup job option “after backup is complete, change ownership of files in the backup destination”. Here’s what I see in FrontView for the share called “shared” Here's what I see in the Finder for the directory “test” the share “shared”, logged in via the user admin via AFP. Again note “test - new file.txt” was created in this direction from the OS 10.11.5 machine, where as the director and file were created back the backup job copying from the USB disk. Can someone please explain the differences between these views... (1) why is the owner of these files in the Finder "(unknown)"? I was expecting "admin" (2) why is the group of the file “test - existing file.pdf” "staff"? I was expecting “users” (3) why is the group of the file “test - new file.text” “staff”? I was expecting the group of a new file created in this folder to be the primary group of the user admin i.e. admin (GID=98), or possibly “users” (GID=100) (the secondary group of user admin, inherited from the containing folder “test”). (4) why are the permissions the file “test - new file.txt” different from “test - existing file.pdf”? I was expecting, based on the “Default Access” settings and “Permissions” settings FrontView for this share (see screen shots above), that files created in this directory to be group Read & Write and everyone Read & Write. Thanks for everyone's helpExplaining Permissions Mac OS X 10.11.5 / ReadyNAS OS 6.5.0 / AFP - First Question
Recently transitioned from a ~2008 vintage 2TB NV+ to an new 9TB 314. It was saying goodbye to a rock solid old friend, but I have to say I'm loving the new 314 and the new OS. A big step forward - the ReadyNAS tradition of excellence continues. But I remain very confused about permissions. I lived with it on the old NV+ but I want to get it "right" this time. This related to accessing the 314 running OS6.5 via AFP from OS X 10.11.5 (latest El Capitan updates in place). This all for the user "admin" in ReadyNAS OS 6.5. I'm logging into via AFP using the user "admin" User "admin"'s primary group in FrontView is "admin" (UID=98) and its secondary group is "users" Here's what I see via SSH - also logged in via the user admin Here's what I see in the Finder, logged in via the user admin via AFP Can someone please explain the differences between these two views... (1) why is the owner of these files in the Finder "(unknown)"? I was expecting "admin" (2) why is the group of the files "staff"? I was expecting there to be no group permissions for a home share (3) why is the permissions the files of "staff" and "everyone" read only? I was expecting the "admin's home" share permission (no group and no everyone access - as shown in both SSH and Finder screen shots above) to be inherited at the file level (4) how could I change the default user permissions of files created in a home permission? Unlike other shares the FrontView "Access" settings for "home folders" doesn't allow any changes other than selecting the "Network Protocol" (other shares I can set the "Network Access" (share) and "File Access" default permissions) Thanks for everyone's help
