![]() ![]() ![]() I would not let this put you off from buying a Synology. The box and the options in it are not the same, and I am just not expert enough with Synology to understand this. If you right-click a file in the DSM File Station and choose Properties/Permissions, the files that I have dragged from Windows have a different look to them than do the ones I recently moved around with File Station. ![]() I thought that this was a really serious change and I was better off doing it in Synology's DSM (disc station manager software, which comes with a very nice GUI). Recently I needed to reorganize my music storage for the first time since setting up the Synology. I know I had to set up some kind of permissions when I first started doing this, but it was a long time ago and I forget details. I just drag and drop them in Windows Explorer (the Synology displays under the Network tab and I click the little triangle to show the folders-I think this is what you call an SMB share). My normal workflow is to download, rename, and tag music files on my laptop, then move them to the Synology. If you do that, do the permissions 'stick' when MinimServer accesses the files? I'd have thought that Windows/Samba would have to propagate the permissions in the native Linux environment of the NAS, but perhaps that is just too naive.

If any Synology experts read this and can tell me how to avoid the problem, I'd appreciate it since I need to move some more files around. I had to select each artist folder, open the permissions tab, check "copy permissions to subfolders and files" and hit OK then all was well after a restart of MinimServer. Folders below that (e.g., folder for Beethoven Symphony No9 and the flac files it contains) did not have any permissions. The music folders, which are organized by artist (e.g., San Francisco Symphony) had all needed permissions. So one would think that permissions would be moved along with the files or whatever. I created the new folders as admin, gave them needed permissions (including minimserver daemon), and used the move command in File Station to move the files. This turned out to be a problem with Synology's permissions. (18-02-2014 08:15)simoncn Wrote: I presume you have given the minimserver daemon user access to the new folders. If you do a MinimServer rescan with these settings, what do you see in the log window? I presume you have given the minimserver daemon user access to the new folders.Īs a test, you can try removing your main shared folder from contentDir and setting the logging level to Debug. In Windows, I can open an Explorer window, open up the Synology under the Network, and navigate as usual - and the moved files are shown there, which makes me think there is nothing defective with what I did when moving the files. Synology's own File Station shows the files in the right places. I have, of course, rebooted the NAS, restarted and rescanned MinimServer twice, all to avail. Now none of the control points I've tried (three) will see the moved files the new folders show as empty in MinimServer's folder view. ![]() I created two other shared folders (with appropriate permissions) and moved many of my music files from the original into the new folders. I had one very large folder for classical music.
