I logged in as root, and during drag and dropping into my Shared folder it comes up as an error "Cannot create or replace ...." BUT if i copy the files directly to the disk, it will copy....did notice when i did that it added that movie to the network ?

 

EDIT: just noticed under users i set guest as read only, and when this happens i can well read only but i logged in as root, not guest but it treats me like quest ?

 

Thanks

What unRAID version?

unRAID Server version 5.0-rc8a

 

root is not allowed to connect to shares.

Ah, well that would explain it. So what log-in can be treated like admin where all areas can be accessed.

Create a user, e.g. "admin", and give the user the desired permission for each share. Use version rc9a released today.

gotcha, 2 things...1) just flash the flash stick and back in, nothing else special ? 2) whats a good utility you guys have used to calculate transfer speed...to be honest 6G has taken 1 hour plus right now through my router (wired)

Read the upgrade instructions in the release notes carefully. The New Permissions script must also be run for this upgrade. I've used LAN Speed Test (Lite) software. There are several free applications available for Windows.
