Issues with UNC drives

[lovingHDTV]

I'm having an issue with one of my drives that has me stumped. I'm hoping someone will know how to fix it.

I recently had to rebuild my server as the main drive failed. I replaced it with a new SATA drive. The original drive was IDE.

So I have three physical drives setup as:

drive 1: c:, d:
DVD : e:
drive 2: f:
dreive 3: g:

I have d, f, and g drives shared and they are used as my Sage recording drives.

Drives f and g I have no issues with, but with drive d, I can read and see everything, but I cannot write to it.

I have checked the permissions and cannot see a difference between the three drives. I have it set so that everyone has full control. I'm really stumped as to what can be the problem. Sage used to write to this drive without issues, even after the rebuild, but recently it no longer works.

This also causes a situaion where Sage prefers this drive because it has the largest free space available. So Sage basically ignores the other two drives and tries to record everything to the one broken drive and throwing hundreds of errors. You'd think that it would figure out it is not working and quit, but its not that sofisticated.

To debug I try to create a new folder on the UNC drive and I get an error, about permissions denied so I know it is not a Sage specific thing.

Ideas on how to fix this?

thanks,

So the d drive is partioned AND formatted? Log in as administrator and see if you have the issue. Is this Vista?

are you check both the share permissions and the folder permissions?

XP

There is only one account on the computer, mine. I have it set as 'computer administrator'. How do I log in to the administrator account? I don't think I ever set a password.

I run Sage as a service using my login account for access.

I have check both share and folder permissions they are full controll for everyone.

I have files already on the d drive as it worked initially. It stopped working after I upgraded to version 6.5-beta.

I can write the d drive, just not it's shared version.

thanks

I had an issue once where sage refused to use a unc share that pointed to another drive on a different pc..... is that what you mean? not so much a different pc but sage just refuses to use 1 or 2 out of the three drives?

I have no idea why it quit working. In the process of playing around with it, I got it so that none of the shared drives would work.

So I changed sharing back to the "simple" mode, enabled network users may change files, and it started working again. What ever it takes

thanks for everyones input.
