renn_205 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have just set up a NAS drive for the network. The main drivers for this were for data space, security and sharing. My problem being when I go to add a WGR in say the 'plan file' on 'workstation A', from another 'section file' on workstation B' I get this message: -54 No write permission Attempt to Open File - FSOPEN On previous setups I have not had this problem. Current Description of network -NAS-LaCie ethernet disk mini (XFS file format), with backup external disk LaCie 'daisy-chained' to it via USB (HFS format) -The ethernet disk has its own share management interface via web browser, no controlling computer required. -All workstations connect to it with there own user names and passwords. Same share permissions, Read and write. -All 'Mac OS X' 10.4 I have tried logging on as the same user, to no avail. I have also tried working off the backup drive (HFS format) thinking that the XFS format is causing the problem. But it still maybe as the backup drive is 'daisy-chained' to the XFS formatted NAS disk. I have also tried turning off the firewalls didn't do anything. Description of previous office A -Dedicated server with 'Mac OS X Server' -All workstations connect to it with there own user names and passwords. Same share permissions, Read and write. -All 'Mac OS X' No problem. Description of previous office B - One workstation dedicated as 'server' ('Mac OS X' only), with external firewire hard disk. -All workstations connect to it with as the user of the said workstation. -All 'Mac OS X' No problem. I have a theory that the cause of this being that it is not 'Apple' software managing the NAS disk and/or its 'XFS' file format. anyone with any experience on this? thoughts? Obviously we can work around it being a small firm (2-3 full-time VW users), by adding and updating WGR's when the files are not open, but it is very undesirable. Quote Link to comment
