[SOLVED] Can't copy some files (Unassigned Devices & Krusader) - permissions


Recommended Posts

Hi folks.

 

Just getting started with unRAID.

Set up the Krusader docker this morning, and am attempting to move a lot of files from a 10TB drive (mounted via Unassigned Devices).

Have moved some without issue.  Others seem to be permission locked.  The drive is an ext4 drive.

Is there a simple way to unlock the permissions on the folders that are causing issues?

This unraid specific tool (script) isn't meant specifically to do what you ask, but it could possibly work, depending on what the issue is.


newperms <full folder path>

 

Thanks for the suggestion.  I had looked at the tool, and it may well have worked.  

 

Since I had the drive mounted through Unassigned Devices, I just opened the terminal command window in the GUI.

chmod -R 777 <dir name> took care of the issue.  Took under 1 second per directory. 

I could then access and perform moves from one disk to the other.

also consider editing your docker settings.

I forget exactly which ones I changed, but look at following:

that's what mine are and allow krusader to run as 'root', so no more access denied errors, and no more need to change file/folder permissions.

This is an even more elegant way to accomplish the mission.

For users who don't mind 'rooting' around their files section, this is the way to go.

Thanks for the tip!
