I noticed something peculiar today.

 

I noticed that some of my movie directories, if I hovered my mouse over the directory name, when viewed from a PC (vista64) was reporting the first 19 directories as being empty, the same was reported via my user share. However I can play those movies from my Popcornhour without a problem so it can see them. Every directory 20+ onwards seems fine.

 

Also if I right click the folder for properties it states the size of the folder as though there were files in there ie "A Bridge too far" 17GB, but if I double click the folder to open it nothing is shown, I do have view system and hiddern folders activated BTW. The same phenomena happens when I view the same folders from a win 2k machine as well.

 

If I use ultracompare (a folder comparison tool on the PC) it reports that the folders have content.

 

 

I thought it might have been becuase I had just upgraded to the latest beta but I rolled back and I have the same thing.

 

I find this really bizzare, what is going on?

OK, I have done some thinking.

 

Recently I tried to use Filexilla to ftp into the unRAID server to transfer files, but I could not see the files via filezilla and reading on here someone suggested running

 

"chmod 777 /mnt/user/* _R

 

Which I did and I could then see all the files via filezilla.

 

I just ran the command again and now all of the folders are reporting that they are empty, so it is a file permissions issue. (the folders that I could see correctly from windows are, I presume, the ones that I have added since running the command the first time and now I have set the files so none can be seen.)

 

The question is how do I put it back to as it was?

 

Ridley

Sorted!

 

If you want to see the files from windows do not set them to "exec"able windows does not like that. I set them to "766" and it seems fine.

 

Iam, however, not sure what I should really set them to, what is the default on unRAID?
