FCS2 RAID
-
Thanx Jeremy. I feel I might need to reformat the RAID this weekend when I have some project downtime. Bottom line is this RAID will never let me add, change or delete folders at the root level. We are stuck with the six folders for other projects we have now. We can add or change at any sublevel below these root folders. The Get Info always says we can only read and not write, but if I go to a folder and access subfolders, it works correctly. I am guessing the file structure is corrupt at the top level.
Any help is appreciated in avoiding a reformat session.

I searched for a half hour last night and couldn’t find anything worth posting back about, sorry. I did see something about the permissions going corrupt on the boot drive and not the raid, which then led to the raid being seized permissions wise. Then I read that disk warrior might further this corruption. Also there were lots of posts about updating the firmware, but it being a 5108, it’s relatively new, no?
Are you on Leopard? WHen you get info, you have unlocked the little lock to change the permissions, correct?
-
Yes, I now have Leopard installed. Nothing changes permissions on just that raid. I tried Terminal routines, etc. Never seen this before. I would bet the editor had a power outage and was not o UPS and the file structure became corrupt. I just started working here last month and i have been trying to clean up problems they have. I now have him on a UPS.
Thanx for your input.Gary Gowman-Video Director

I would compare firmware versions on the raid and the latest from ciprico and see what happens.

Jeremy,
I Just spoke with Victor at Ciprico and we are looking in to it all. My comment I made earlier about not having any support was made on second hand information. I was misinformed about who called who by another person.

Like I said, every time I have dealt with them, it has been very good and they know their stuff.
Glad you got a hold of a human!

A coworker found a program called Mac Pilot that allowed us to unlock the RAID permissions. I am happy because I was just about ready to reformat the whole RAID after backing up 4TB all night long to FW drives.

Perfect. SInce you have it backed up, it might be a good idea to reformat it anyway.
What did Ciprico say?
-
They did not know why or how to fix it. We were heading towards a reformat and then see what happens after that. I had to stop the backup because it still had two FW drives with another 4 hours to copy and we need to catch up on work that stopped yesterday. Which was making HDcam SR master tapes and I cannot afford to have the copy process interfere with possible dropped frames. Worst case, I could try and pick up from where we left off on the copy process to FW drives.

Man, Gary. What a hassle. Here’s to better permissions in the future.
