Deleted file appear like its not deleted

[Torgele]

Today a very strange bug happened. I delete an .xls file, and when i go to another computer the file is there! i try to open, and the file is unable to open.

Everytime i refreshed the share, the file was there, even if i deleted it all the time. I restarted nas and it left for now.

What i can do to eliminate this? I had 306 version and i upgrated to 358 after this bad incident

This has actually happened to me, too, a lot of times...
The only way to delete the file is via the file manager, while logged in as root.
But I never posted in the forums about it since I am on an old n4f release (9.0.0.1.175)
I was waiting till I find time to upgrade to latest first and then try to find out why it is happening...

Perhaps permission problem?.

try to own all your data share

Code: Select all

chown -R ftp:wheel /mnt/yourmount/yourshare

<- This works for me

Revise if the "rebel" file have other permision or atributes (777) that have the files that you can delete without problem.

I am afraid it is not a permission issue.
First thing I checked was that.
The user I am using had full permissions but was still happening.
It was a very rare case, though, and since I reverted to nt1 it stopped happening.
I cannot be sure that this was the problem, though, since as I mentioned, it was happening very rarely...

Double posting here, in order to add/correct some points regarding this issue:
I was using a samba share mapped as a network drive to my windows 7 x64 machine. For starters, it seemed that the problem was not that the file was not being deleted. After a while I noticed that the file was actually being deleted, but another file (0 bytes in size) with the same name was being created there.
Permissions should not be an issue. Explaining why: After deleting the file and trying to copy-paste another with the same name I was getting a permission denied error. Refreshing the folder showed that the file was still there (but 0 bytes this time). Without deleting the file from file manager I was trying to do the same copy-paste via ftp. No problems there...
So don't know why it was happening - but I am pretty sure it was a samba issue.
As posted in my previous post, hasn't happened again since I reverted to NT1, but it was so rare that I can't be sure (besides the fact that it was happening once in 20/30 times, I am also using ftp 95% of the times to transfer my files)

What i can do to eliminate this?

Windows is

When I see W7 in first time, I try to create folder on desktop.
This task is difficult for W7 , i5 CPU and 4G RAM - I was see watch icon

It have big cache, and not read real files, it put icons from cache.

This is W7 father. I think He is crazy.

You buy rented Windows?

I restarted nas and it left for now.

Why?
Why you restart NAS? You need restart Windows.
