Files/folders locked after unsuccessful xfer from Mac SOLVED
Posted: Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:56 am
Hi everyone,
I'm a new Amahi user and a somewhat advanced novice (if that makes sense) when it comes to Linux in general. I'm trying to get my Amahi server up and running after throwing in the towel with WHS.
I'm noticing that when transferring files from my Mac (Snow Leopard), larger transfers (either large files or transfers with many files) seem to fail with a relatively generic cannot copy message. After that, anything that did make it over (both complete and partial files) becomes locked, sometimes the containing folder too. After this, I can't delete these files without going over to the server itself and doing a chmod to the file.
Still, after this, my Mac will no longer copy files over to the share. I still get generic cannot copy errors and sometimes can't connect again at all for a little while or until I restart one of the machines.
I'm trying to trace this down, but I'm having trouble. Outside of this issue, files seem to be readable and smaller transfers work.
So I guess the problems are two-fold, 1) why are the file transfers failing and 2) why are the files becoming locked.
I AM over wifi, but that never caused a problem with WHS. I'm not completely ruling out a hardware related issue, but it seems that would be unlikely. I have turned off the DHCP server for Amahi (I'd prefer to use my router, honestly), could that be the cause? Seems kind of odd though.
What can I look at to try and figure this out? I've read through the troubleshooting in the wiki and what I can find on here, but I'm still stuck.
