Hi there!

 

I'm running unRaid 5.0 with SNAP 5.19 installed. When connecting an AFP-formatted USB-HD SNAP finds the volume and I am able to mount and share it.

 

 

Unfortunately neither I can see any already existing files on the ext. HD nor write larger files on it. Tried to copy a picture <1MB size -> works fine. Copying a movie fails at certain point.

 

 

Unfortunately I cannot see the limit when it stops copying.

 

Any idea someone? Is it a rights issue?

 

Best,

petjek

 

NAS: edited title as requested

When you say, 'AFP-formatted'...do you mean 'Mac OS Extended'?

(OS X also supports NTFS, FAT16/32, and UFS file systems)

 

[From your Mac, when you do a 'GET INFO' on the drive,

what is indicated as the 'Format:' 

(Format is in the 'General' section of Info.)]

 

That's pretty odd. What does your Mac's Disk Utility say? Have you run 'Repair Disk' and 'Repair Disk Permissions' on the drive?

 

Uhm, sorry for incomplete information. Of course I meant Mac OS Extended. AFP is networking stuff.

Oddly I could not perform disk permissions repair. The button was inactive.

I decided to re-format the drive. But that didn't change a thing.

 

Edit: title changed 

 

Edit: uhm, no. Not changed... How to?

On your Mac, with the drive mounted, running Disk Utility, you can't do the 'Repair Permissions' button? 

And you've recently reformatted the disk?  :o

 

I've never known Repair Permissions to not work except when the drive was Read Only...and that was because the drive was NTFS by mistake.

Very odd. Did you try "Repair Disk" using Disk Utility?

Step 1: connect drive to Mac

Step 2: open disk utility (just to verify it is Mac OS extended with just one partition, GUID)

Step 3: repartitioning and reformatting disk (just to be really really sure!)

Step 4: check for repair function again (works now)

Step 5: unmount, power down and disconnect HD

Step 6: connect HD to unRaid, power up, go to Mac

Step 7: mount with snap (works as expected)

Step 8a: copy a large file with MC.

Step 8b: shed a tear because it still doesn't work with files larges than let's say 30 MB

 

:'(

 

 

Those are the right steps...

 

 

So:

its not the disk formatting. (unless SNAP has a problem with OS X formats )

its not the network because you're using MC to move file from unRAID to SNAP Disk.

 

And it's choking on file copies as small as 30Meg, using MC?

 

 

Exact!

I'm not sure this will help, but I had problems with AFP for a while, not being able to write, then after aggravating trial and error, make sure that your SHARES have the AFP setting set to YES and I have mine set to public as well as AFP set to YES in the SETTINGS, BOTH places had to be set to AFP.  Voila, all of a sudden, AFP works like a charm.  Doesn't hurt to check...

Did I make a huge mistake? Better think twice when typing the subject of a post.

Thanks for the hint, kristisdad but I'm really sure that the problem is not AFP related at all. I simply mistyped the subject.

Is someone around here who can change the subject line?

Unless edit permissions have been changed again, you should be able to change it by editing your first post.
