When I connect to flash share nothing is shown except the EFI~ directory. Everything else is missing. If I write anything to flash it disappears. The files/folders are all there and can be browsed in the webui file browser but are not available via SMB. This started after repeated overwrites from backup files to try and correct an earlier problem.

I've been digging through the flash checking file contents and found this-

 

 

If I've got read/write access (confirmed in flash settings) shouldn't my user name be listed ie flashReadList="wgstarks"?

 

And if so, why isn't it? I've modified the setting several times and the contents of this file isn't changing.

 

Maybe a permissions issue??? Just a WAG on my part but here are the permissions. I have no idea what they should be though.

Edit: It was changing. I just wasn't checking it at the right times. Appears that flashReadList=read only and flashWriteList= read write.

Finally got this mess fixed. It was caused by the fact that I used a Mac to restore the files to the flash. The Mac also created a ._ version of all the files and directories. This had the effect of making everything on the flash not visible. After running a script to clean out those ._ files everything is visible again. I need to figure out a better way to restore the flash.

 

Just posting this in case anyone else encounters this issue.
