Can someone provide me with a simple way to repair permissions?

 

1.  I am on a Mac running Mountain Lion;

2.  One folder will not delete, all others seem OK.

 

Thanks.

1. Open the terminal and telnet in to the server.

2. Set permissions and ownership of directories you want to change with chmod and chown.

 

If you want to repair permissions of your entire server run the new permissions tool from the unraid web interface under 'utilities'.

from Putty/telnet I run the command  -  newperms /mnt/user/whatever/your/file/path/is/

 

Which will correct permissions in everything in the "is" directory example above

 

The more precise you are, the faster it runs.  if you run it on /mnt/user/video/ and have 10,000 TV shows in there, it's gonna take a while.

 

Remember capitalization is important, and to us a \ before any space or 'weird' character with linux (The\ Big\ Bang\ Theory)

Thanks.
