No write access to share created with OMV Web admin

  • I'm new on Linux-Raspbian-OMV-FTP-shares. But I would love to gain more knowledge and experience. So what did I do?


    I have a Raspberry Pi, model B, 512 MB, 6 GB SD card. I downloaded OMV 2.0.15 version (Stone Burner) with Raspbian 7.8 (Wheezy).


    Installation went pretty smooth (beside some hick ups caused by my lack of Linux knowledge). Through the OMV Web interface I created a user TestUser1 in groups NAS and Pi. Also I created a share at a USB stick, named TestShare on which TestUser1 has read/write access.
    Btw: I put the files on the USB using my Windows 7 pc.


    With FileZilla on my pc I could see the files on TestShare but I am not allowed to alter the filename or to delete him. The same goes for AndFTP on my smartphone.


    Now I am out of brilliant ideas? Anyone?
    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe my video might show you something you missed?

  • Thanks! Nice video.
    I'm watching it now and I noticed some interesting differences in my approach. I will try to set up my share again.
    I'll report later.

    Well, this took some time. (I watched the video twice, writing down all the actions you did in order to have a nice document with a lot of steps I will have to follow.) After some attemps to repair the mistakes I probably made I decide to start all over again.


    So I wiped out the sd-card and used Win32DiskImager to load the OMV_2.0.15_rpi_rpi2.img file on the sd-card.
    After a while the system booted up and I followed (allmost) all steps from the video. Btw, I did nog upgrade the php5 modules due to earlier problems I encountered,


    I created a user and the share "Docs" on filesystem "Files" was successfully made with r/w permissions to the user.
    I could connect it through Windows Explorer on my pc. But here's the permission-problem again:
    I have no permission to create a file in the share "Docs".
    For testing purposes I enabled FTP and connected the share using FileZilla. Same disappointing result, no permissions to create a file.


    Help! What should I do?

    Use the reset permissions tab to reset the permission on the files for the shared folder you are trying to access.

  • Thanks, that's fast!
    I did a reset permissions on the share and got this message:
    Clearing ACLs ...
    Changing owner to root:users ...
    chown: changing ownership of `/media/c611e475-7a40-490f-a387-34b830a48901/Docs/': No space left on device


    The nospace part worries me a bit.
    Suppose there is not enough space on the device, how can I check this (via console or Webgui). Furthermore how can I format the device (which is a usb-stick) in order to free disk space?

    Your data disk is full. Look in the Filesystems tab. Post a pic of that tab.

    That drive definitely isn't full. Can you post the output of mount from the command line?

    Well, it isn't mounted read only. Not sure what is going on.

  • Maybe usefull info: while booting the RPI I noticed on the console just after the message "Starting watchdog deamon..." the error:
    "startpar: service(s) returned failure: f2r-var-lib-monit-tmpfs f2r-var-lib-openmediavault-rrd-tmpfs" and 5 other messages.
    Does this ring a bell?


    Btw: appreciate your help (and time) very much!

    Those are flashmemory messages but I haven't see those cause the problem. Can you post the output of: df -h

    Forget this output. I was testing with another usb-stick. I will post the correct output in a while. Sorry.

  • Some additional and maybe usefull info: when resetting the permissions on my share "Docs" an error message on the console shows up saying: "EXT4-fs error (device sda1) in ext4_setattr: 4807: error 28".


    Any idea what this might be?

  • Ryecoaaron,
    After more attempts and a few hours reading on this forum and the internet to get a share running with OMV I gave up.
    It fascinates me that despite of a well defined hardware platform (Raspbian Pi Model B), a freshly downloaded installation file (OMV 2.0.15) and all the necessary steps I took following your video, it seems to be not possible to obtain a working share on a RPI.
    Well, at least on my RPI.


    So I decided to go back to basics, I am going to install Samba and of course I will have to read and study once again a lot of documentation.


    Anyway, thanks again for your time and help!


    Btw: I am very much willing to use and install again the OMV software, in case there is a newer and hopefully better version. Just let me know. Because the concept of the webbased interface with all its available options in OMV is still very attractive!
