Hdd from omv 4 not accessible in omv 5 through samba

  • Hi!:)

    I recently made a fresh install omv 5, and added my external hdd's from my previous omv 4.

    The hdd in with ntfs file system works well, the samba shares are recognised and accessible to read and write from my windows 10 pc.

    The other hdd with Ext4 file system, has the samba shared folders visible, but cant enter any of the directories, keeps giving me permission error.

    I'm trying to change the permissions of the folders back to the user i created, and all the changes appear to proceed through omv, but when i try to access those folders it keeps giving permission denied.

    Does any1 know how to change the owner of the folders? I've tried reset permissions plugin, but it does nothing, apparently.

    I dont want to format the disk, as I need some of the data, and cant afford to buy a new hdd to copy that data.:(

    Thanks for listening,

    Maf

  • Reset the ownership in the shell using chown

  • Hi!

    Did manage to change folders ownership, but keeps giving the same error when trying to access from windows 10.

    Well, i tried the old omv4 install, and it gives the same error in windows.

    Guess i'll have to wait until i buy a new hdd to transfer data.

    Thanks for the help,

  • Hi!

    After copying the data i will wipe the hdd.

    The question is if i will be able to copy the data ;)

    I can access the files and folders through putty and winScp, its just the Samba shares that dont work on that disk.

    Its strange, but cant figure out whats happening, that is whats bothering me, not knowing why.

  • OK, just made it work!:thumbup:

    Just had to change the ownership of the root folder... Simple but i forgot to check it before. I should know never to work when sleepy...:sleeping:

    Thanks for the help,
