hi,



ok as i have said in another thread i recently added a new 2tb drive to my nas, i was then told by someone at dlink that using a schedule copy feature that was built in to the unit that i could copy all the files from the 1tb onto the 2tb, so thats what i did, and it took all night, but it did it, only now i have a new and very annoying problem i might add
the copy from 1tb->2tb has placed the files (950GB) into a folder in my 2tb drive, so now as i look at my 2TB, it says Volume_1/Volume_2/all my files are here, and i dont want them here, but i cant move or even delete them!

i use flashfxp to transfer usually, but it kept throwing up permission errors, so i tried teracopy which let me copy from 2tb Volume_1/Volume_2 to 2tb Volume_1 but i cannot rename or delete the source of the ones i have copied, and thats what i need to do or this 2tb is gonna be pointless pretty soon lol


can anyone help!


cos dlink cant

and i have a case number

Interesting - I suspect your problem relates to linux permissions - so let me ask, who did the files belong to before they were copied (the username that created them) and who is trying to delete them - the fix for it may require shell access to find out who the files belong to now (what user D-Link's copy process used to copy them), and to change those permissions, which means that fun_plug will be required.

A work around - if you have separate volumes - is to remove the drive with files you wish to keep and format the other.
