How to format a partition using fvdw firmware?

[apaladini]

I removed the Hard Disk and tested it in Windows. There were many bad blocks, the disk is not reliable anymore. I bought a Seagate Barracuda 2 TB, and replaced it. Now I've installed fvdw firmware and everything is fine. Thank you very much for your support and your firmware.

There is just one doubt left: previously, when I press and hold the blue button on the front of the D2 Network 2, it triggered the shutdown. Now when I try this, it doesn't shut down. Is there a way to configure this button to shut down Lacie when pressed?

glad to hear you got it working and that only HDD has gone bad.

Yes buttons are not implemented for D2. Its difficult for me to implement as I do not own a D2 myself I must rely on a generic setup file in the kernel. The buttons are defined but I need to write a routine to make them worked, it is implemented for nwsp2 and the same routine is used for D2 (version2).
What haoppens if you press and hold it for more then 5 seconds and release it. ?
That should initiate a switch down.
If you press and hold for more then 1 and less then 5 seonds it should initiate a reboot

If that doesn't work it seems that I need to modify the routine for the D2. Please test first if it really doesn't work.

Perfect! 5 seconds and release. Shutdown. I wasn't holding long enough. Thank you!

Dear fvdw,

I have a share named "media", which I created through Lacie interface as a "public" folder. I have ticked "NFS" and "Samba" advanced access. When I access the subfolders through Windows, I can create new folders and files inside the "media" folder. However, when I try to delete a file, Windows does not allow it. Although I have created all files through Windows, the owner of the folders is "root (Unix User\root)". My Windows user does not have permissions to delete, and I cannot alter these permissions. I tried to own this folder, but this is it not allowed also.

Why is that happening, and how can I solve it?

Thank you for your help.

how did you exactly create the new folders, via nfs ?

When I create folders in the public share using windows explorer (not internet explorer) they get as owner the user that created them but that user must be known on the nas, then I can also delete files in these folders that I created and the folder itself

I'm using windows explorer. Strangely, when I create the folder the owner is some "nobody (Unix User\nobody)"...

Hi apaladini,

The owner may be 'nobody' only on these cases :
- you have a public share (no user account used on your laptop)
- you use a webdav access
- you use web-explorer

if the owner is nobody there should not have issue permissions (as the user of the samba server is also nobody :whistle ).
But check if the parent folder has run permissions.
So on a shell terminal go to the share location

Code: Select all

cd /share/1000

See if on your sharename you have rwxrwxrwx permissions

Code: Select all

ls -l /share/1000/sharename

Same thing if your files are stored in a subfolder.

Please to post also this output when you do your tries

Code: Select all

 ps afux|grep smbd

I am sorry, I do not use Linux (I come from the MS-DOS world...). How can I open a shell terminal in the Lacie interface, so that I can use these commands?

Hi

here a tuto for installing Putty on a Windows OS:

Note: Please to note you have no longer a Lacie web-interface but fvdw-sl web-interface. (same thing with the Lacie assistant)
