NASLite Network Attached Storage

Hey All,

I have kind of an odd problem that I was hoping someone could shed some light on. I am using NASLite2 USB, and I allowed AFP RW access to 2 arrays. They both work fine, for a while, but all of a sudden certain directories (one in particular) will switch to read only in Leopard. NASLite is still set to RW, but when I go to change the permissions, I can't. This is probably an OSX issue, rather than a NASLite Issue, but I couldn't find any info elsewhere, and I know there's a good community here, and I was wondering if anyone has run tinot this problem before. Its usually the ITunes music directory that has problems, would that have anything to do with it? Thanks a lot,

This only happens to you itunes library folder? or the entire naslite server becomes read only?

If memory serves, it's usually one array, and in this specific instance, it is only the music directory on that array, which is designated as the iTunes music folder in iTunes. I have seen other directories on this array become read only, but since then I have both installed Leopard and and a newer version of NASLite 2 USB (2.06) and the only one that suddenly switched to RO this time is the music folder. Again, This seems like it may be an OSX problem?? Either way I appreciate the response. Thank you, -Raia

From the finder do a get info on your itunes music library folder and post the permissions, this will be at the bottom of the get info window under "Sharing & Permissions"

It's a OSX issue, I'm running pretty much the same setup, so we should be able to figure something out.

Ralph,

here is the info you requested. I have attached a screen cap in case this isn't clear.

You have custom access.

(pic of one person) NAS-User - Read&Write
(pic of two people) NAS-User - Read only
(pic of three people) everyone - Read only

Thanks again,

Those are the same permissions I have as well.

Is it the Finder or iTunes that is flagging the read only error?

Sorry for the delay in responding. I just want to thank you Ralph, it's great to see someone stand by and support their software the way you guys do. The problem fixed itself about a few months ago, so it looks like it'll be pretty hard to troubleshoot! It has come and gone before, so I waited a little before posting, but a few months later and I still have full r/w permissions. Weird. Thanks again!
