Samba has its own set of permissions. So even if your user has write access on the ext2 file system Samba can have a folder exported as "readonly". I would suggest checking you Samba configuration on the web page of the 323.
Instead you could take a look into "/etc/samba/smb.conf" which is the config file for Samba. If you are not familiar with the options in the config file try "man smb.conf".

ahh.. i just tried going to this .. .http://192.168.0.30//etc/samba/smb.conf .. and got the following

from what i can see, it seems user1 has no access to Volume_1 whatsoever ... i will see if i can remove and add user again and see how that goes

Your samba config looks fine to me. So I guess the problem must be related to file system permissions. Did you check that your user has write access to the folder that you are exporting via samba?

example:

Your smb.conf file shows that you export /mnt/HD_a2.

If you do a "ls -l /mnt" it should show something like this:

root@nas:/mnt# ls -l /mnt
drwxrwxrwx    6 root     root         4096 Nov 19 19:09 HD_a2
drwxrwxrwx    4 root     root         1024 Nov 12 11:46 HD_a4
drwxrwxrwx    6 root     root         4096 Nov  2 14:21 HD_b2
drwxrwxrwx    4 root     root         1024 Nov 12 11:46 HD_b4
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Aug 22 05:28 web_page

The permissions here show what owner/group/others are allowed to do inside the folder, so if you get an output like this (check the "others" column):

root@nas:/mnt# ls -l /mnt
drwxrwxr-x    6 root     root         4096 Nov 19 19:09 HD_a2
drwxrwxr-x    4 root     root         1024 Nov 12 11:46 HD_a4
drwxrwxr-x    6 root     root         4096 Nov  2 14:21 HD_b2
drwxrwxr-x    4 root     root         1024 Nov 12 11:46 HD_b4
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Aug 22 05:28 web_page

then nobody except the root user or someone belonging to the root group can create a file or directory directly below /mnt/HD_a2/


I looked at your initial post again and found a little typo. "chmod -R +rw /mnt/HD_a2/" is not going to do anything because you didn't specify whom to apply these permissions to.
"chmod -R a+rw /mnt/HD_a2/" will work better if you want to give everybody full access.

@silversurfer using +rw means ?+rw.

Thanks for the hint. I looked at the manpage of chmod and it says that if you don't specify user, group, others or all (like "+rw") then chmod will behave like you specified "a" (like "a+rw") but it will not change bits which are set in the umask. On my CH3SNAS the umask for the user "root" (and probably all others) is set to "022".

That means that if you run "chmod +rw bigfile" where "bigfile" has r-xr-xr-x permission set, it will only set it to "rwxr-xr-x" because the last two "w" are masked out.
