By default Volume_1 is open for everyone to read/write.
Now I've started using permissions, added uses and groups and assigned the folders.
But I don't seem to find a way to open certain folders to everyone for either read-only or read/write access. So basically I want to restrict access to some folders and keep it open for others.
I've just updated to 1.01 firmware.

Did you remember to remove the default everyone gets access to everything permissions? 

[r!ng0]

I didn't remove it explicitly but it seemed to go away on it's own after I've added people/permissions/folders. Does it make a difference?

[djy8131]

I always remove it as the first step so it does not negate the other ACLS

[r!ng0]

but can you actually assign anonymous (or "anybody") permissions to any folder while having other folders restricted to specific users only?

[djy8131]

correct.  as long as the permissions are on different paths

[r!ng0]

I can't figure out how to do it. Would appreciate any help.

I've deleted all the permissions I've added before. Now the network access list is empty.
But it doesn't give me an option to share a folder for anybody (open access). It insists that I select either existing user or group, there is no option for "all" in the lists. So how do I go about it?

Under v 1.00 I was sharing subfolders by setting ALL permissions for those sub-folders.  Now with v 1.01 whenever I try to set any permissions, it insists that I choose a specific user.  The All users check box goes away once I set any permission(s).  This was working in v 1.00.

More information.  I can set all the permissions correctly.  They go away once I restart the DNS-321.  All permissions are gone.  It also happens when I save the configuration and then try to restore it with any permissions but the default "ALL".

[djy8131]

Are you using only one drive?  This is a known limitation of the firmware.  I had to buy a second drive to get the permissions to stay after a reboot of the 321

[r!ng0]

Nope, 2 drives. Looks like this is firmware 1.01 issue :-/

Hey, D-Linkers! Any comments, advices on this issue?

[dlandon]

Two drives (250 Gb each) in a RAID 0 configuration.

D-Link, can you post v 1.00 so we can roll back?  This is a problem and I don't want to re-configure the DNS-321 every time I have to reset/re-boot the unit. UPnP is not important to me right now, but these permissions are.

Same problem here except I have both drives (250GB each) in a RAID 1 configuration. Any settings for shares/permissions/folders will simply NOT stay after the 1.01 firmware upgrade. Upon first start-up, all shares & rules are missing and the "All accounts" checkbox is missing from the right side of the "User" field. After another restart, the "All accounts" checkbox and the Volume_1 default share appear but my other shares do not - have to recreate them all again and re-add permissions. Also, if I delete the default Volume_1 share with the "All" permissions I cannot create any more shares. Another restart brings back this Volume_1 share and then I can add my own shares (only to be lost on the next reboot/startup of course). I cannot get rid of this Volume_1 share - it keeps coming back. With the original firmware I could at least delete this default share with the "All" permission and create my own shares and have them **stay**. I reapplied the new 1.01 firmware twice but it didn't help.

Right out of the box with the original firmware, all I received on my DNS-321 was a purple light on the left hand drive and a RAID 1 status saying "Degraded". I had to reformat my RAID 1 config at every second startup to make this purple light go away. Nowhere on D-Link's "support" site do they mention what this purple light is or what to do about it. Both hard drives were absolutely fine. The upgrade to 1.01 fixed *that* problem but now I've got the new issue I've just described. Honestly, what a piece of junk this NAS box is. I've got a support call into D-Link and a Product Specialist is supposed to call me back but I wouldn't hold my breath. Very unhappy with this product.

[dlandon]

Can D-Link at least confirm that this is indeed a problem, that you are working on the issue, and that there will be a fix in the next firmware release?  I've sent an email to D-Link support explainiing how to reproduce the problem.  If you need further help on how to reproduce this issue, let me know.

I have tried it with my drives formated as two standard drives and do not have any issue. Is anyone else using them in standard and not RAID and having this problem? I will format in RAID and try it as well to see if it is just when using RAID.
