WORKAROUND!!! User permissions and ownership problems for DNS 323
« on: May 25, 2010, 06:56:24 PM »
Like many other people I had problems with the DNS 323 not allowing me to change ownership or permissions with a number of folders. So I finally found a workaround. I used a program to mount the affected hard drive as a local drive in my Windows 7 64 machine and was able to copy off the affected folders and files and then delete the originals. Once I had them backed up to another location and the original folders where deleted I transferred them back to the DNS 323 using the network.

This will only work if you are not using the raid features of the DNS. I mounted the hard drive as read only until I had the data transferred off and then mounted it with write access so I could delete the original folders prior to transferring my backups back to the DNS.

Here is the tutorial I started with and the link to the program I used.

had the same problem, no way of deleting old data and folders (no rights).
mounted disk to Win7 64-bit mashine and voila! couldn't do it there as well.
Problem was that the folder names where also using Estonian letters such as õ, ä, ö, ü.

My workaround was simple - as it was for backup purposes anyway i formatted drive and did new backup.
