I think that this is a folder permissions issue.

I go the StorageDrive and copy a file. That file can be pasted into existing folders on that drive.

If I create a new folder, I can't paste the file into it.

What are the permissions on the new directory?

[Hondo]

When I create a new folder-

Permissions are -

Owner - Forbidden
Group - Can view & modify Content
Others- Forbidden

[Hondo]

not sure how display it in the normal way (like a server)

In a terminal, as root;

[root@localhost ~]# chmod -R 755 /StorageDrive               <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# ls -l /StorageDrive              <Enter>

Post the results of the second command.

Ok, permissions look better now- (folder names removed to protect the innocent  )

Too late... we already know they are porn1, porn2, porn3, ... porn(nnn).

Do I need to do that on the backup drive too?

Wouldn't hurt! 

[Hondo]

Ok, I'll run that as well.

Everything seems fine again- thank you very much for your help!

Sorry to start this up again but I'm having folder permission problems -

I create a new folder on my StorageDrive and I can't paste anything into this new folder or create a new folder in it either.

I don't have any problem adding files to folders that are already in the /StorageDrive, so for some reason I am not being allowed ownership of folders that I create.

Here are the permissions of an existing folder (temp linux) and the new one (tester) -

Code:

drwxr-xr-x   4 hondo hondo   4096 Feb 12 07:40 Temp_Linux/
d---rwx---+  2 hondo hondo   4096 Feb 13 19:02 tester/

Any ideas?

Thanks -
