*duplicate post on DLink forums*
hi all,
as previously posted, i have a 323 with 2x 200gb WD HD's running Raid 1. no mods other than telnet function being used
this has now the 2nd time i have been called to the customers site (as i manage his small network of which the 323 is situated at) due to permissions being flagged as read-only. all users are on WinXP / Vista.
this permission thing happens out of the blue and i have yet to identify a pattern for duplication. on both events, i had to telnet into the box and CHMOD 777 just to make sure the read-only set was removed on all files.
im sure DLink may ask me to change firmware to 1.04, and yes, i will eventually do it (see previous post on upgrade strategy to 500gb HD's) however, those disks are not available still and thus have to maintain the box in its current state. there is no space issue with the drives as it has approximately 60gb free .. though im sure i will fill this up on my next backup
can anyone advise as to what is causing this or even a way to fix it?
cheers

If you telnet in to the box and type
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf > /mnt/HD_a2/smbconfiguration.txt
and then
ls -l fileNameThatHasBecomeReadOnly > /mnt/HD_a2/corruptedfileperms.txt
and post the output files here, then someone might be able to take a guess at the root problem. Is it a common issue with DNS323?

hi sjmac,
i will give that a shot and see what the output is. but i have a feeling that the files are randomly being modified to read-only. rather than me identifying one individual file itself, i just CHMOD -R 777 the root of the 323 to make sure i capture all contents

Have you considered a virus? On the Win XP platform that is ;-)

i would like to think that the AV software on each PC would already keep that in check, having said that, all AV programs respond differently & may not find every nuance of variations in there. though i can trust my AV software, i cannot therefore rule your remark out.
i guess i can just run a virus check on all PC's manually then do an AV from PC to 323.
id ask what is concidered the BEST av software but that is opening up a can of worms. ill check for viruses frodo, thanks for bringing that up
cheers

I believe I have read about this issue before, on these forums. If I recall correctly (don't have a link) it has to do with Office files (.doc, .xls?), and saving directly to the DNS. But it only occurs when you save twice in a row. I'm sorry to give such a vague answer, but I think that was the error description.
*quick search*
might this be the same as your issue?
