Hi,

 

I was organizing files on unraid server this morning, in particular I switched my "movies" to split level 2.  Then I started copying movies from disk1 to disk2 than were previously split (I had split level to 0 when originally copied all my files to the unraid box     ).

 

I messed up in a few places...

 

1) around this time I was messing with creating users,  I originally just had root, then created a user "chuga" which is my windows user name also.

2) I used windows explorer to drag/drop small files (folder.jpg, etc) because it was quick

3) for large files (video_ts folders) I used telnet "MV" command

 

During my first "mv" move it was taking a long time and I did not know if it was hanging up or working so I cancelled it.  

 

Now I can't view any of the files in my movie folder via windows explorer, but they are there when using telnet "ls'.

 

I guess my question after all of this rambling is, is there a command (chmod? ) where I can run on the whole "movies" directory which will "fix" any permissions issues for all the movies files and subfolders?

 

doing a "ls -l" does show me that I have different permissions for folders...here is what I think happened:

--during a telnet "mv" it must make the destination folder hidden/different permissions.  When you stop a move by ctrl-C it does not fix a permission.

--during windows drag n' drop via explorer if you have a user account created on unraid with same user/psswd it uses that instead of root for file permissions.

 

just my guesses...

thanks very much

 

 

this might help...here is a copy showing permissions on two different directories.  You can see "chuga" showing up some.  also "root".

Looks like your running a beta. Easy enough to re-run the permissions fix script included in the webgui.

 

I went from a beta back to 4.7 and had to run a manual chmod and chown else openelec would not see any new files.

 

_{Correction: Openelec not XBMC}

didn't know that script was there....nice time saver!

 

thanks for the help
