February 22, 201610 yr all my files turned into read only I did not change any setting and when I try to erase a file it says I do not have permission tower-diagnostics-20160221-2106.zip
February 22, 201610 yr What files from what share. How were those files created? Can you copy new files over?
February 22, 201610 yr Community Expert Your syslog only includes about 30 minutes since a reboot. Did that period include the activities you are having a problem with? My guess is filesystem corruption, maybe on cache, but no clear indication of that yet. No harm in checking though.
February 22, 201610 yr Community Expert all my files turned into read only I did not change any setting and when I try to erase a file it says I do not have permission How are you trying to do this? What created the files? Are you actually logging into your server and what is the user name? (root is excluded from logging onto a share for security reasons.) One thing to try is look at your shares from a terminal or PuTTY session. After logging in, type the following command: ls /mnt/user -al You should see your shares there. The owner of the shares should be 'nobody' and the group 'users'. Now get a list of the files inside one of your shares by hitting the 'up-arrow' key and using the 'right-arrow' and ''left-arrow' add the name (capitalization is IMPORTANT) of one of your shares as exampled in the following: ls /mnt/user/Media -al Again the owner of the shares should be 'nobody' and the group 'users'. If this is not the case, this is your source of your problem. Report back with the names and someone will be able to help you.

You do this by the following typical command: ls /mnt/user/Movies -al for the files in your Movies user share. (To look at the other shares, change the Movies to appropriate name.) Again, the owner/group S/B 'nobody/users'. Two other things, Look at the Main tab on the GUI. Are all of the symbols under the Device column either a gray circle or a green circle? Are you required to log in when you are using Windows explorer to do your file operations?
