1.5.3 - USB HDD write protected

[mpmc]

Hey all.

Updated to 1.5.3 successfully, but like many here I'm having issues with USB storage. I've done a complete reset, formatted the drive (Both Ext3/4), configured it correctly (changed the workgroup, allowed anonymous access, e.t.c) and can access the drive fine, but can't write to it?

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Hello
I have split it up, from the news item, to make sure that it is getting seen, from the right persons.

Will try to test this myself later tonight or tomorrow. With an old NTFS partition (not recommended) is it working fine.

Hmm.. just an update.

I've just SSH'd into the router.

I can make a folder (and files) via the term and I can access them via Samba but I still cannot write via samba.

The samba config is as follows.

Code: Select all

[global]
	netbios name = Gargoyle 
	workgroup = WORKGROUP
	server string = Gargoyle
	syslog = 10
	encrypt passwords = true
	passdb backend = smbpasswd
	obey pam restrictions = yes
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY
	unix charset = UTF-8
	preferred master = yes
	local master = yes
	domain master = yes
	os level = 20
	security = user
	null passwords = yes
	map to guest = Bad User
	guest account = nobody
	invalid users = root
	smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
	

[sda2]
	path = /tmp/usb_mount/dev_sda2
	create mask = 0777
	directory mask = 0777
	read only = no
	guest ok = yes
	browseable = yes

Directory listing

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Feb 12 19:35 1a9e7a74-358f-488c-abf1-f87873e3a1d
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           50 Jan  1  1970 dev_sda2 -> /tmp/usb_mount/1a9e7a74-358f-488c-abf1-f87873e3a1d

Would the date cause a problem like this?

Maybe.
Please try to check the system->time page in the webinterface to see if the ntp-server is failing.

Sorry for the late reply, busy lately

The ntp is updating correctly no issues.

Oh I forgot to mention the router is a wr1043nd version 1.7.

Thanks for the report

I have also reported similar problems

Eric has made some changes in the repository but I think there are still bugs in this part of the code

[DoesItMatter]

Enable both CIFS+NFS

Allow anonymous access read/write

Save Changes

REBOOT router <-- necessary for changes to take effect

Then try again.

Sorry for the late reply.

I've tried what was suggested above and I'm still having these issues.

I know the drive works fine in Linux and it worked on the old release (1.5.2).
