Hello,

 

I've added in a disk that is already reiserfs and has been in an unRAID array before. However, all my files are locked, I can read but can't write/delete

 

How do I change the permissions on these files to match my new unRAID. Basically, every file on mnt/disk3 is locked

 

Thanks for any advice

Not sure, but don't you have to run the permission script? Utils --> New permissions.

 

 

Edit:

 

Yes i believe so. Check this http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7361.0. See upgrade instructions.

You can setup a custom samba share with the force user option and be able to read and write the files. Post back and I can provide detailed instructions.

 

I did this because I wanted to be able to go back to 4.5.6 and wasn't sure what effect running the permissions script would have on backward compatibility.

Hello, thanks for the tips. The new permissions button in unraid 5 didn't fix the issue - would appreciate the tip on how to force r/w on samba shares.

 

Thanks

Make sure the drive is not mounted in read-only mode that might be caused from a filesystem corruption.

Put something like this in a file called "smb-extra.conf" in the config directory on the flash drive.

 

MAKE SURE IT USES LINUX LINE TERMINATION.

 

[mydisk1]

path = /mnt/disk1

valid users = user1, user2, user3

read only = No

force user = root

create mask = 0711

directory mask = 0711

 

This is based on one of my shares.

 

But if you ran the 5.0b2 permissions script I would not do this.  The script says it can take a very long time to complete.  Once I run the script, I will modify my samba shares based on new unRAID security standards for Samba.

Hi,

 

I might need my hand holding a bit more... so far ive ran the new permissions script but i haven't made the smb-extra.conf file.

 

I have two drives in my array that were from unRAID 5 beta 2 last week, a different array. They've been recognized and are now part of my new array. I have quite a number of files that I can't

 

Copy/Cut/Delete/Rename/Move

 

If i ssh into my unRAID I can delete them as root.

 

Is there not a command I can run that will flatten everything back to one user?
