I have just upgraded from 4.7 to RC5 and I am having some issues with permissions; I am not able to et write access over smb from either Windows 7 or from OS X.

 

I'm a linux noob so i have been getting some information from some posts on the forum (mainly here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=21614.0)

 

I have run the New Permissions script from the utilities tab, and it seems to run rather quickly (<1 min for 7Tb of data). After running the script i have checked the permissions by running ls -al /mnt/user/Movies on the server

 

Output is as follows:

drwxrwx--- 1 nobody users  136 2012-09-16 03:40 ./

drwxrwx--- 1 nobody users  112 2012-09-16 03:40 ../

-rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 6148 2012-09-15 21:39 .DS_Store

dr-xr-x--- 1 nobody users  448 2012-09-16 03:40 BluRay\ Rips/

dr-xr-x--- 1 nobody users  48 2012-09-15 13:44 Downloads/

dr-xr-x--- 1 nobody users  264 2012-07-12 03:42 Rips/

 

As far as i can tell this means that write access is not granted.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve these issues?

 

Note: Due to the issue I was having I gave up on the upgrade and set up RC5 as a fresh install. I am still having the same issues.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention that all of my user shares are set to export with public security.

On additional item to note is you can no longer samba browse as the root user in the latest unRAID 5 series. Be certain to flush your samba client connections. One of the easiest ways of doing so is rebooting the samba client system.

 

To restore write permissions on your movies:

 

find /mnt/user/Movies -type d -exec chmod u+w {} \;

I think I have managed to sort things out now.

 

I ran your suggested command which updated the permissions to drwxr-x---

I then ran find /mnt/user/Movies -type d -exec chmod g+w {} \; to change permissions to drwxrwx---

 

I also had to add write permissions to the files using: find /mnt/user/Movies -type f -exec chmod u+w,g+w {} \;

 

Thanks for the help
