Hi guise!
If you don't remember me i've a 5Big Network 2 with fvdw-sl firmware version 17-0 plug in home network and managed only with Windows PC, and all gone perfectly thanks to your help in the past.
Today I trying to delete some my old files inside of my disks, but sems that "root" user and "root" group is the real Owner of all my 5 disk... really? why?
I try to take ownership with windows security property function. But sems that i can't change the root user...
How can i take ownership of the files?
How can i manage the file if there is no way to change/remove the root ownership? :thinking

Thanks.

Hi

On many files, owner and group are root and do not have be changed !

on fs system, I think it is clear :scratch

and on the data volumes, I repeat again a NAS is not a laptop and permissions should not be managed on linux permissions level (in fact linux permissions are set only to set permissions on the servers running on the NAS)

On a nas, access on a file is monitored by the running servers : ftp by proftpd; samba by smbd, ... It is the user settings on these servers conf which allow or deny access, that's all...

Anyhow, you can get a root access by using a ssh access as in this case you are a root user and then you have all permissions! So I assume you know what you will do

Sorry, i've never seen the notification of this answer.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
Using Filezilla with SSH and root user i'm able to delete all the old garbage now.
Yes, you'r right, i know what i'm doing, don't worry :hammerhead
Thanks again.
