NASLite Network Attached Storage

Thanks a ton, I'll give that a shot!

Hmm... the workgroup WAS set to CF...

I get this same error message occasionally. It is annoying. I find that I can usually (though not always) delete the file through a DOS console, even when other applications complain. I also find that if I re-attempt to delete a file that failed to delete several hours later, I am able to delete the file -- as if some locking mechanism or journaling process has finally released it.

I upgraded to NanoNAS from the floppy Naslite, and never encountered this error with the earlier version. I have enabled journaling on NanoNAS. Perhaps this is the issue? It would be nice to know why it occurs.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I've never seen that before. What sp is your xp? I have to try that myself.

What service pack? Both versions of Windows are completely up to date with all patches.

Anyone have any ideas? It's becoming almost unusable at this point... I can't delete anything without getting this error.

I haven't run into the problem you are describing so over the next few days I'll try and replicate it. I'll use XP with SP3 as the client and see how it fairs...

Thanks Tony, I appreciate the help!

Any luck?

I got a chance to check NanoNAS-SMB with XP-SP3 and I can confirm the problem. The problem appears to be specific to Windows Explorer and is intermittent - does not happen all the time. Also appears to happen with certain file types only. Deleting executables did not cause an error. In all other cases I was able to delete all files on the second or third try and did not have to resort to the command prompt.

This warrants a closer look. I'll do that time permitting in the next few weeks.

You can set the attributes of the files you have problems with. Select the files, right click and then pick properties where you can check off read only and all that stuff. Then you should be able to delete. I still can't get mine to crap out. I tried with updated xp but the files come off like they are supposed to.

For me... it's close to all of the files give me this problem... most of what I store is pictures and psd's (I design a magazine). The sole purpose of this NAS box is to store images and psd's... so it's become pretty much useless to me because of this problem.

Tried that alreaady, doesn't help... thought for sure that would work too...

Thanks everyone for your help!

Why don't you upgrade to naslite2? It works much better and has lots more capability. You can even use the drives form your nanonas as is. I'd guess with the likes of vista and win7 nanonas will keep coming short. But then, what can you expect from a floppy
