External Drive - Can't write

<< < (2/4) > >>

BryanC:
Is the drive NTFS formatted? Do you have ntfs-3g installed? Have you added the appropriate ownership rules in /etc/fstab?


--- Code: ---UUID=XXXXXXXXXX /media/ext1 ntfs-3g defaults,user,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,uid=userid,gid=groupid,dmask=002,fmask=002 0 0

--- End code ---

...where userid and groupid are (typically) your username.

He's using a network share on an Id. For some reason, it's not getting mounted rwxrwxrwx. I'm going to try to duplicate it here, we have similar equipment.

Hi, I have a related issue: I'm running on the Id; also a QNAP NAS; can actually save tags from the MC24 server on the Id; and I can edit the directory/file structure via Windows machine on NAS.
BUT: when I try to use the "Rename, Move, and Copy Files" function, this doesn't work:
- from the Windows machine I get message "can't be done as connected to server"
- on the Id I can do the change: it updates the metadata tags BUT the directory/file names remain unchanged on the QNAP NAS (and hence the files no longer play in MC, as the file path is no longer linked to file location)

Scobie:
Is the QNAP setup with NFS or CIFS?

I found CIFS to be more complicated as you need to maintain usernames and passwords and permissions for each connected system, and I found that my MC instance had to be setup to authenticate.

NFS on the QNAP is easier as you can simply allow a host IP to access, and set up the permissions form there.

Some additional specifics:
I have a QNAP TS-219+, running firmware 4.3.3.0628. I do not have NFS activated (I can activate v2/v3 or v4 in the QNAP Control Panel I see). I do not know where I may manage CIFS..? But the Microsoft Network is activated (the 3rd option is Apple Network, which is not active). On the Windows machine I run MC24.0.45, which uses the Library on the Id server; on the Id I run MC24.0.28. From the Id, I connect to the QNAP NAS using the QNAP Admin login. I rebooted both QNAP and Id recently.

I just discovered something related to the writing issue: while updating default settings in the File Location menu under MC's Options on the Id, I get the message "Audio file location cannot be read-only". This is strange as I configured the External Media Menu of the Id's Mainmenu to be read/write. I will do some more checking and come back.
