NASLite Network Attached Storage

Anyone any ideas?

The other 8 drives load and mount fine.

The 2 new WD 500GB drives I have just added show as formatted but not mounted

Having now rebooted a few times how do I get NL to mount the new drives?

In the admin, set the drives to mount as RW. By default they are set to parked (--) after format. Do that, reboot and you'll be in business.

Thanks

I also noted that the memory was running low at 256MB so I bumped it to 768MB that seemd to help too

All up and running now - Just having alot of trouble with permissions

I search the forums and see if anyone else has run into these issues.

Ram will always be at about 90% since Naslite uses most of it as buffer space. 256M may have been fine but 768M is much better for sure.

How are you having problems with permissions? What OS, and what exactly are you unable to do?

The permisions problems are from Ubuntu and Windows and MAC

So basically everything

Can't delete files as root or Admin etc

Can't create new folders on newly formatted drive (by NasLite)

The only way around it is to keep formatting the drive until it let's me use it, eventually they do so it is not a major problem, there is a workaround.

Then if I copy everything off the drive to another drive then format that drive it allows me to re-copy stuff back and use normally until it does it again.

It is an inconvenience not a show stopper.

This is interesting..

From Linux and Windows XP I do not have permission to delete a folder or all the files within the folder....


But...

I can Shift Delete one file at a time and all the files appear to be deleted. Go up a folder come back into it and Bingo they are all back!!

Back to plan B, copy all the files to another drive and reformat the drive again and hope it will give me the permissions to add/delete form the drive.

Is there no way I could just go to command line and chmod these files?

It would save me hours of copying file back and forth especially as it happens so often

One drive that was denying me permission to write to it is now allowing me to..

I had to reboot the NL following an Admin lockout, the only way to get back into the admin console was to press the power button on the front very quickly and that caused an orderly shutdown (I hope)


The lockout is documented in another thread.

But interesting that the permissions problem on one drive cleared up following a reboot.

I am now able to copy everthing off the other drive that won't let me have add,modify or delete permissions. Then I can re-format it again. Hopefully that will fix it this time.
