Gizo Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) SOLVED?: No clue how I fixed it but I did so its all good.😕 I can move and delete freely from my fedora machine just wish i knew why or what i even did  I just moved my main pc over to Fedora 31 loving it so far but having some issues accessing my media on my unraid server. I'm unsure if i need the smb shares enabled anymore as I doubt use windows now. It seems I can add new files (only tried 1) but can't delete anything. Things i've tried 1 adding the user 2 setting it up with read/write 3 Tools > Fix perms  I've attached a pic and my logs/ diagnostics. Thanks in advance!! gizbo-diagnostics-20200404-0928.zip gizbo-syslog-20200404-1429.zip Edited April 6, 2020 by Gizo Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 How are your trying to access the files on the server? Are you using NFS or SMB?  I suspect your problems are not with the Unraid server but with the Fedora PC. Quote Link to comment

I believe I'm using NFS though I have both enabled on the server itself. I also have the user set to allow both NFS and SMB under Users and under Shares. Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) I am not using Linux in a PC setting. What I would like to suggest is that you modify your first post to indicate the Linux distribution (Fedora) that you are using in the title of this thread. Hopfully, Someone will jump in and provide some assistance.  OF course, you can always try SMB as there are lot more people familiar with its use than NFS. (I am under the impression that SMB is now generally preferred in the Linux world over NFS because of SMB pervasive presence in the networking world.)

Can't seem to connect with just SMB enabled, just tried. It only shows the remote login server, which I tried login into. It just say unable to access location and I no longer get the password prompt. I enabled NFS and able to copy to and from but can't delete. Which I suppose I could more then likely use krusader for deletion. Less convenient though Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Why don't you see what happens if you create a Share that is 'Public' and not 'Private'?  This would be to see what happens when we are not adding the confusion of being denied access because of 'credentials issue' (bad user_name/password) or some problem. (By the way, root is not allowed as a user to access SMB shares. I am not sure about NFS shares.)

Made a test share that's public using SMB. I copied over a random document and I can delete that, even though the perms could not be determined Edit: So my user that I want to be able to delete things should be "guest" that last part has be a bit confused  Edited April 4, 2020 by Gizo Quote Link to comment
