I purchased a Galaxy 3850 2-bay NAS enclosure and have two 1TB hard drives in it. The enclosure is plugged into my router via a gig-Ethernet interface. It has the ability to do FTP and iTunes mounts (which is my main purpose for buying it, to have one iTunes library accessible from 7 computers and one Apple TV).
In both cases I am having the same problem and need help. The hard drives are from two manufactures, one is WD & other is Seagate. I am able to SMB mount both hard drives but am not able to copy anything over to them, getting an error that I don't have permissions. I am however, able to FTP into either of the mounts and copy the same data that would not copy from the SMB mount. I have tried doing an AFP with the same problem.
As I have mac & PC's on my network, both need to be formatted in FAT 32 but I have also tried HTFS and NTFS. I formatted both from internal setup on the G5 then put them in the NAS. I have formatted the WD as a test in the pc tower, in the mac G5, and in the NAS itself. The same problem from each. I have also tried to format using different versions of windows (XP pro SP3 & vista ultimate), and OSX (10.4.11 & 10.5.6) with same error.
In trying to troubleshoot I have run into what I believe to be the real problem but I can not fix it. When either drive is plugged internally into the G5 and I attempt to modify the permissions through terminal as root I get the following error with this command "sudo vsdbutil -a /Volumes/Storage" (one hard drive is called storage and the other is storage2) error: "vsdbutil: no valid volume UUID found on '/Volumes/Storage/': permissions are disabled."
I do want to stress that it will accept the admin password to mount the share, & i can copy from it, just not to it. I also can FTP data to it but it takes too long.
I have copied what the disk utility from the G5 running 10.5.6 says about the seagate when doing a get info.
