chuga Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 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
chuga Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 this might help...here is a copy showing permissions on two different directories. You can see "chuga" showing up some. also "root". root@Tower:~# ls -l /mnt/disk2/Movies/Action/"Bullitt (1968)" total 4116 drwxrwx--- 2 nobody users 48 2011-12-21 15:15 AUDIO_TS/ drwx------ 2 root root 720 2011-12-28 12:01 VIDEO_TS/ -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 192564 2011-12-25 15:19 VTS_01_0.TAG -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 1202083 2011-12-21 15:33 backdrop.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 476871 2011-12-21 15:33 backdrop1.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 354141 2011-12-21 15:33 backdrop2.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 113723 2011-12-21 15:33 backdrop3.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 1202083 2011-12-21 15:33 fanart.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 642051 2011-12-21 15:33 folder.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 10677 2011-12-21 15:33 mymovies.xml root@Tower:~# ls -l /mnt/disk2/Movies/Action/"Goodfellas (1990)" total 920 -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 112 2010-01-30 10:59 Goodfellas\ (1990).dvdid.xml -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 9728 2010-02-02 21:02 Thumbs.db drwxrwx--- 2 nobody users 432 2011-12-04 19:39 VIDEO_TS/ -rw-rw---- 1 chuga users 193881 2011-12-25 15:26 VTS_01_0.TAG -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 223359 2010-01-30 10:59 backdrop.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 chuga users 223359 2010-01-30 10:59 fanart.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 246835 2010-01-30 10:59 folder.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 2019 2010-01-30 10:59 movie.nfo -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 23300 2011-07-23 12:44 mymovies.xml root@Tower:~#
daniel.boone Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 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
chuga Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 didn't know that script was there....nice time saver! thanks for the help
