Troubleshooting NAS File Access And Permissions Issues

Cannot Change The Ownership Of A File Or A Folder

Description

Every file on the NAS system is owned by either a UNIX or

NTFS user. Inability to change ownership is treated

differently, depending on whether the access is native or

non-native.

Cause

The user is not authorized to perform the ownership

change.

Workaround

An authorized user must perform this action.

Cannot Modify NAS Files

Description

A user or an application cannot modify a file.

Cause

The client cannot modify a file due to lack of

permissions on the file.

The NAS volume has reached full capacity and

the file system denies any write requests,

including overwrites.

The NAS volume is a target in a replication

relationship and is read only.

Workaround

1. If the problem appears only on some files, this is a

permission issue. Verify that the user account has

modify permissions on the file or use a different user

account.

2. If the problem is related to a specific NAS volume:
3. Verify there is enough free space on the NAS volume

or expand it.

4. Verify that the accessed NAS volume is not a target

of a replication.

Mixed File Ownership Denied

Description

Both file owner and group owner must be from the same

identity type (UNIX vs NTFS). An attempt to set different

identity types was detected.

Cause

It is impossible to change only the file owner id to UID if

the original file ownership is SID/GSID.

Workaround

To change the file ownership to UNIX style ownership, set

UID and GID at same time.
