Can you clarify 'replacing the disks'? As in, you've just completely replaced all the drives in the NAS and rebuilt the array and copied all your data fresh from Cerce? I can't exactly follow what you've done here but it's subtly wrong: > julian@Cerce sudo chmod 777 Finances > julian@Cerce sudo chown -R julian:julian Finances > julian@Cerce sudo cp -avr Finances ~/Desktop/ > julian@Cerce cd ~/Desktop/Finances > julian@Cerce ls -alh Make the copy *first* before you start nuking perms/owns! sudo cp -avr Finances ~/Desktop/ Operate on the new copy leaving the originals intact: cd ~/Desktop sudo chmod -R 777 Finances sudo chown -R julian:julian Finances ls -alh Finances You missed the recursive flag on the chmod command by the looks of it. Also check your original Finance folder because if you copied that command sequence verbatim from your terminal session you've accidentally slightly clobbered it... I really don't recommend 'fixing' things with brute force like this though, although we all do it sometimes of course *cough* If you have just fully repopulated your NAS and are going from scratch with a fresh set of data, it would definitely be worth getting to the bottom of this properly whilst you've got the chance. Cheers PS: Also, as far as I can tell the "intr" options in your fstab have long since been deprecated so should be removed. Your fstab entries do look considerably saner than before though. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
