Permissions issue with external usb2 drive
« on: December 23, 2009, 11:13:52 AM »
Mac OSX Snow Leopard
SMB mount
No user restrictions on mount points (All users , read and write)

I can write to the DNS-323 Volumes from the Mac Mini with no problems
When I attempt to write from an external drive (Western Digital 1TB My Book) it errors with a "You do not have permission to write to this folder"
I telnet into the DNS-323 and see that all permissions on all folders are "nobody:501"

Does anyone have any advice for this situation?  I want to write from external usb2 drives to a SMB mounted volume on OSX.

I have tried resetting to factory defaults - no go
trashing and recreating mount points - no go
creating a user (same as the mac user) and assigning permissions to a folder - no go.

Thanks in advance for the replies...
I am on 1.06 firmware

root is the owner of system files.  nobody is the defacto owner of all other directories and files. 

To adduser and chown directories to that  new user inside the system will result in the changes being wiped after shutdown as changes do not go to ram.

I have been having the same problems.  In the web admin I added a user to have the same name as my two computers ~/ directory.  I will let you know how it goes.  My aim is to be able to rsync and use unison and not have to use perms=o.
