minimal fun_plug which will update the owner and permission to unlock the files and directories
download, put in Volume_1, reboot, post your success story
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JH4K76Z8

for those who already have fun_plug or optware should not need this as you can already ssh / telnet into the box to fix the permissions

just download this, put in the volume_1 share, and then I should be able to delete???

Seriously that simple?!?

[TimeZlicer]

yes, that's right and you need to reboot before it takes effect.

and after you are able to delete the folders/files,
delete the fun_plug from Volume_1 share or move it to some other folders
(put it back to Volume_1 and reboot if you can't delete any folders/files again)

just download this, put in the volume_1 share, and then I should be able to delete???

Seriously that simple?!?

[bigg_3522]

yeah, this did nothing.  still can't delete the files or change them from read only...

[TimeZlicer]

are you using windows or linux?

anyway, the following is the same fun_plug (with debug turned on)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KZ4K4J0N
if you use this, you should see a file optware.log in Volume_1 after rebooting
if you still have problem, please post the contents of optware.log

if you don't see optware.log, then fun_plug was never executed, something else is wrong

yeah, this did nothing.  still can't delete the files or change them from read only...

[bigg_3522]

yup I see nothing... so this app isn't executing...

[bigg_3522]

do I maybe need another file or something???

[TimeZlicer]

are you using windows, mac or linux?

do I maybe need another file or something???

[bigg_3522]

Mac.

[TimeZlicer]

if i am not wrong mac and linux are similar in some way
you might need to do the following (from the terminal application in mac) before it can work

Code: [Select]

chmod a+x fun_plug

Mac.

ok I got it to work, but the log file doesn't show what's going on with the file that I can't change the read only permissions from.  But there were 3 other folders I can't delete nor access on the drive.  When I tried deleting them it said:

chown: /mnt/HD_a2/Greg's Backup/Can't Delete 3/iChat Icons: No such file or directory
chown: /mnt/HD_a2/Greg's Backup/Can't Delete/Pictures/iChat Icons: No such file or directory


And its the same for every other file in the folder.

[TimeZlicer]

this is a more aggressive script and should be able to release any permission problem

if it does not solve your problem,
it would then suggest that your file system might be corrupted and you would need to run e2fsck,
i am not sure if the scan disk in the gui is working properly, you can give it a try

Right... Yeah, couldn't delete anything...  I've run the scandisk on the box many times, nothing changed...

[TimeZlicer]

i would suggest taking out the hard drive and run e2fsck while connected to a PC/mac
i am not sure if mac have e2fsck

Right... Yeah, couldn't delete anything...  I've run the scandisk on the box many times, nothing changed...

i had faced the "unable to delete" in 2 occasions
- permissions got screwed (the script worked)
- filesystem got corrupted (the script didn't help, had to do e2fsck from PC or telnet/ssh into the box)

[bigg_3522]

I think I gotta telnet in, I have a Raid 5 configuration, 4 1.5TB HDD's...  I think I can change the permissions through command line, I just didn't know you could telnet in...
