Permissions Issue

[StevenD]

I have a share called "RecordedTV".  In the last week, I setup the four Windows Media Centers in my house to automatically copy WTV files to this share after the recording stops.  For some reason, I cannot delete anything in the share from Windows (either through Explorer or Media Center.)  I can delete from the console.

 

I'm logged into my Windows 7 workstation as DOMAINNAME\steven. I don't have any issues with any other shares.  I also have this problem if I manually copy a file to the share, not just with the scheduled task.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

I even tried chmod'ing the files to 777.

 

 

I read in another thread where someone suggested there might be some crruption on the disk, so I ran reiserfsck.

[dgaschk]

Enter "newperms /mnt/user/RecordedTV"

[Automatic]

Those files aren't 777'd, they're 666'd.

Enter "newperms /mnt/user/RecordedTV"

 

Thank you!  That fixed it.  I forgot about the new  permissions script.

this only fixes files that are in place. copy a new file and I bet you'll have the same issue.

 

the reason is you need to login to the server as "nobody".

That was the first thing I tried out.  It works just fine with new files.

I assigned the group name to "Nicholas" and I don't have to login, windows automatically assigns it because my windows user & pass are the same as my unraid account's.

 

No files have any issues here, other than one, which kept telling me I needed permission from "Tower\Nicholas", which, was me, so, I got confused and just RM'd it in terminal.

i wouldnt have expected that result at all. if it comes up again maybe that is why though.

 

glad its working for you.
