how mount the usb drive from Linux
From a linux box, I'm trying to mount the drive I have plugged into the router. Following the instructions here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/448263 I get this error: mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) The RedHat guide says if I see that error: Please verify the permission on the folder on you windows machine and try again mount the share folder. Looking at the drive permissions on the router's 192.168.1.1 page, I see Write = "All - no password" Read = "All - no password" and no way to "verify the permission" on the folder or change anything (like, assign a password for example). If anyone knows how to mount this drive I'd appreciate it. I very much want to mount it rather than unplug it because Windows runs File History backup on it constantly. Also, I tried to set permissions on it using windows but the new settings would disappear when I clicked "Apply" When I view the permissiions in windows, nothing is checked. Router Firmware: 1.0.2.4_9.1.86 Linux Version: CentOS 7.3 Windows Version: 10 Pro That's all the detail I can think of. Thanks! Oh ... I cross-posted to stackexchange the view from the linux side here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/344427/how-can-i-mount-from-centos7-a-drive-shared-from-a-home-router-using-samba I've found posts about the same thing for other netgear products like, here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/How-to-map-to-NAS-share-from-Linux-by-CLI/td-p/845944SolvedShare permissions (samba force user/group)
I have been running os6.5.0 on my old ultra6 for some time now, and everything seems to be going well. I am however trying to setup a CIFS share so that regardless of user account used to connect, the files are saved under a specified user/group. I believe this would be the samba 'force user' and 'force group' configuration lines at the share level in a standard samba.conf. Is there any way to set this from the GUI? Detailed use case: I have dropbox running on the nas as user X under the share Dropbox, I have this share set so that anyone in group Y can read/write. Lets say user Z from group Y writes to the Dropbox share, the file is written and the ownership is set as user Z - this unfortunately causes the file not to be syned with dropbox. I want that a file written by any user in group Y is actually saved to disk as user X. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Matthew9.3KViews0likes1CommentNew shares requiring username and password
I have half a dozen ReadyNas NV+ units and am having a problem with NAS shares requiring login. For most of my ReadyNas NV+ units I have 4 drives configured in a Raid5 and I use the detault shares of BACKUP and MEDIA, I can see these by tyoing in the IP address of the NAS unit preceded by \\ e.g. \\10.1.1.1 However for one I have installed 2 x 750gb and 2 x 500gb drives each configured as a RAID1 Mirror The ReadyNas NV+ installed the default shares on the 750gb raid1 and I can see the default shares with no access problems I created a share on the 500gb drives and I can see it along with the default shares, however, when I click on that share it requests a username and password. I want to be able access this NAS from any computer and any username without this request, so how do I achieve this, I checked all the setting on the share and they seem identical to the default shares.8.5KViews1like22CommentsPermission Issues: ReadyNAS RR4312X goes total read only mode, inoperable
We have two of these RR4312X (ReadyNAS 4312 with 10GBASE/T not showing up in the model list above). One is working fine still, the other one went totally read only all of a sudden. Please help! Firmware was updated to 6.7.5 SMB Shares set up, was working fine for almost a year, suddenly this issue. Was on Active Directory, I took it off AD for troubleshooting. When it was on Active Directory, it was suddenly read only access regardless of actual permissions setup. Permission changing was not possible at all (Error Code 1002030001 Commit Failed) Creating new share is not possible (Always with error 1013050001 "Please verify that the share name is valid and unique") Reset permissions function is not working ("Failed to change permission and ownership of the share -sharename-") Rebooting has no effect. Please advise, this thing holds our backups and we can't continue to run our backups.8.3KViews0likes24Comments1002030001 - Commit failed when making or checking permissions after firmware 6.7.5 update
My ReadyNAS 214 device has been running very smoothly for months. I use it for backing up and storing a lot of static content on my home network. This morning I noted that I could not copy files from one folder to another. Then realized I could no longer add or modify any files anywhere on my shares. I've made no changes to the system in a while save one: updated the firmware to 6.7.5 last week. I probably didn't add anything to the server in that time until today. That's the only culprit. Now, I am seeing this: - Where my group or individual user shares were set correctly, they now appear as "guest" or 'anonymous'. - I can see all my content but cannot modify it or add or delete it - I have 4.6TB of about 16TB. - The logs don't show anything alarming (in the GUI - the downloaded logs is another story) - The downloaded logs show numerous permissions errors. Access denied. Groups not existing - Interestingly, I can add new users and groups (with an error, but it creates them). - I can't assign shares to these new users. I could use some help. Anyone else seeing this or have a fix that hopefully doesn't include wiping the system and starting over? Best, Michael8.2KViews0likes24Comments
sudden permissions problem - You need permission to perform this action
I have samba (SMB) share called "pictures" which I map to my Windows 7 machine as drive Y:. I used Windows Explorer to move some pictures to my Y: drive today (as I've done hundreds of times before) but I got the error, "You need permission to perform this action". This has never happened before. I ssh'd to the ReadyNAS and looked at the directory to which I was trying to move my picture and found permissions of "drwxr-xr-x guest guest". I see that some of my other directories have permissions of "drwxrwxr-x guest guest". As it turns out, I can move files to those directories. I then tried to create a new directory on my Y: drive (in my "pictures" share) and the new directory received permissions of "drwxrwxr-x+ ken users". ("ken" is my windows username and is the name of my "home folder" on the ReadyNAS). This is rather peculiar since every directory and file in the "pictures" share going back many many years has ownership of "guest.guest". Based on above, I believe what is happening is that I am now suddenly accessing the share as ken rather than as guest and since I am now accessing the directory as "ken" rather than "guest" and since "ken" is in the "users" group and not the "guest" group, I do not have user or group write permission so I can't move my files to the folder any longer. Does anyone know WHY the username being passed via samba to access the "pictures" share would have changed from "guest" to "ken"? Also, does anyone know why the directory was created using unix ACL's (the + sign at the end of the permissions string above)? The use of ACLs happened once before a few years ago and prevented me from accessing files, but it seemed to have stopped until now. I presume that when I create a directory, the permissions to use are being set by the ReadyNAS, but perhaps they are coming from Windows somehow? I upgraded from 6.9.1 to 6.9.2 tonight but all of the above still pertains.5.2KViews0likes6CommentsReadyNAS 104 - Cannot delete/move some files, even as Admin #26331978
Hi, I have the ReadyNas104 with firmware version 6.4.1 Generally I've had no issues, until recently when I tried to delete some folders/files. There is only one user/share which is myself. Finding it strange I logged in as Admin instead but still I was unable to delete/move some folders/files. Whenever Ben/Admin try the only options available are copy,browse and recover - Pic showing no delete/move options This isn't affecting most folders/files, just a select few. Confused I clicked on Shares and double checked that Admin permissions are set to read/write which they are - Pic of permissions I decided to try deleting the affected folders via Windows instead but got the error message that i don't have permission - Pic showing Windows error message Using windows I discovered that the owner is 'root (Unix User\root)' which I assume is the readyNas OS? - Pic showing how Windows displays the owner info Could someone please help me regain permission so that I can free up this unwanted 60GB of space. Cheers4.2KViews1like5Comments
Add user with admin permission to shares on ReadyNas 314
I have a ReadyNAS 314 withthe expansion unit and I would like to either change the existing user or create a new user with admin permissions so that they can remove files from the NAS. As it is now there is a user account with only r/w and an admin account. I would like the user account to be able to use their existing login to have the permission to delete or move files. The unit is a ReadyNAS 314 Firmware: 6.6.1 Desktops: Windows 10 Professional This is used in a non AD windows network with a few users who have access to the NAS. ThanksSolved4KViews0likes6Comments
Cron job running script - ownership problem OS6
I created a directory /scripts for my scripts. I have a script which detes a /data/<path>/foldername1, copies /data/<path>/foldername2 to /data/<path>/foldername1, e.g.: rm -r /data/<path>/.thunderbird_copy cp -r /data/<path>/.thunderbird /data/<path>/.thunderbird_copy It runs OK but it is owned by systemd Network Management How can I, in the script, change ownership and permissions so that I can access it normally from my pc? Is there a way to tell it to retain the ownership & permmisions of .thunderbird, the folder it is copying? I tried chown -R david /data/<path>/.thunderbird-business_copy but it doesn't work. The NAS doesn't know my pc admin groups and name. I can't change ownership from the pc either.3.6KViews0likes3CommentsCan't move, delete or rename file
I have one file in a share on my NAS and I can't rename, remove or move it. I have reset the permissions under shares and also reset the permissions on the complete share. I have tried to remove it from my mac using different services AFP/SMB/FTP and also tried to remove the file through the HTTP-service/interface. Still no succes. If I delete the file in Finer on mac, it just reappeares. The NAS is updated with the latest firmware and rebooted and "repaired". No difference. The file won't move. Help!3.3KViews0likes6Comments
