Hi Takkie, in order to fit the 5in3 cages I had to bend the metal tabs out of the way in the 5.25 bays. It wasn't difficult but it took some time because there were lots of tabs. Check this thread for some methods for removing/bending the tabs, the C-clamp method worked for me: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14910.0 Hope it helps!

Well, did a clean install of un unRAID 4.7 (Formated USB stick), assigned drives, recreated users and shares, repaired file and directory permissions... and the problem was persisting. Then while re-checking everything again I noticed that I had a blue light (100Mb) instead of a yellow light (1000Mb) in the router port assigned to the unRAID box, I swear it wasn't there before! The router and the Ethernet wire were fine so it turned out it was the onboard NIC. I've disabled it in the BIOS, replaced it by an Intel PRO 1000/GT and everything is working now. Just wanted to say that the problem showing up after upgrading to 5b11 was only a coincidence, everything was due to a hardware issue.

Sorry for the delayed reply, first week of work after holidays has been a nightmare. Concorde Rules, here's the screenshot of the time-machine share. Definitely something's really wrong in my server. I can read from the drives but I can't write to, neither from Windows or Mac OS X. I've double checked all the drives and they're fine: ran file system checks (reiserfschck) and smart reports. I've also tried downgrading from beta 11 to 10 and also 9 with the same results, read-only access. Now I'm considering doing a clean install with the 4.7 official release, recreating shares and users. What would be the best way for doing this? Is there a way of doing it without having to format the drives?

That's funny considering that I have an unRAID "Faulty" Tower since I messed up something after I tried upgrading to the latest beta: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14835.0 Still trying to fix it so any help will be welcome!

Thanks for the replies! About replacing the Icy-Dock fans: The original fans don't use standard connectors, so replacing them involves: - Unsoldering the wires of the original fans - Replacing the fan - Soldering the new fan power wires to the connector in the plastic cage In my case I found that the fans that I chose triggered the Icy-Dock's Fan Fail alarm, even when the fans appeared to be running normal. That's probably because the new fan's RPM is lower than the original one's. To disable the alarm I had to bend the connectors not used by the power wires (see the picture). Not the best solution but its working. P.D. All the credit for the rug goes to Ikea

Hi Concorde Rules, thanks for the reply. I've updated the first post with more info about the read-only issue and about the server shares. About "Finder", I'm not getting any error, I just can't write to the drives.

Hi, I only have read access to my array since I upgraded to 5b11 and tried to fix some OS X Lion issues (as reported here). After noticing the problem: - Went back to 5b10 and it didn't solve it - Ran a parity check and the data seems to be ok - Ran the "New permissions" utility with no success - I've also tried deleting and re-entering my users and it didn't work either The read-only issue happens from any OS (Windows, Linux, OS X SL and Lion). Besides the reading from OS X Lion using the AFP shares is not working properly too (I can see the shares but I can't browse the folders). Some info about my shares: - In "Settings" AFP and SMB are enabled, the SMS Security Mode is "workgroup" - All the shares are exported as "Public" in AFP and SMB, except a "Time-Machine" share that is exported as "Yes (TimeMachine)" and "Private" with "read/write" permissions for the authorized users Any ideas or suggestions? syslog-2011-08-22.txt
