[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1366540, member: 38928"] You're far better off using XFS on a NAS. It's what it's designed for and how it comes pre-formatted. It's supported by just about every OS out there. Which is where you're problem lies . . . . Writing to NTFS isn't natively supported in OSX, only reading. Which is why you're seeing the issues of files that cannot be modified. I'd suggest backing up your data, resetting your NAS to factory defaults and re-formatting to XFS. If you'd rather not do that you need to enable writing to NTFS in OSX. There are various ways to do this but, IMO, the most robust, reliable and transparent way is to treat your self to a copy of [URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/"]Paragon NTFS[/URL]. It's only $20 (that's about £13). I've been using it for years without issue. [/QUOTE]
