Can't create new folders, can't reset perms, can't change ACLs.

sonofwatt · Feb 20th 2021

Getting the following error when trying to use Reset Permissions or when trying to modify the shared folder ACLs.

This disk is from a previous OMV install.

Any ideas?

Code

It looks like a problem with the aquota.user and aquota.group files in the root of your drive.

I would try temporarily removing the share in OMV (but leaving the disk mounted under Filesystems), then opening an SSH prompt, deleting the two aquota files and running the chown command manually.

Code

chown --recursive root:users /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-8494346d-ac97-40a2-a38e-c043fb719bee/*

Hi Cubemin, thanks for the reply. Tried that but no luck.
Reading elsewhere online it looks like I may need to stop the quota service and then try changing ownership.
Also in another thread with a similar issue someone said the problem is that we're trying to change ownership of the root of the drive itself. Apparently you need to move down or up one level. Like change the ownership of the drive itself, or go 1 level from root into a folder and then recursively change ownership there.

A full drive (either storage or system one) may give you similar errors too.

Check if you have any space left on them.
