System: LS-QL 6GB Firmware version 1.11
Access: As afp share via Airport Time capsule from lap top running OS X 10.6.1, also tested via SMB from linux and hardline.
Issue: Share mounted and accessible via afp. A number of folders are in use with no issues. I copied a large chunk of files into one folder and tired to set permissions to "Read only" using command-i info window on the parent folder (a top level folder just under the share folder itself). After changing permissions the folder becomes inaccessible due to permissions. Checking command-i info window again reports permissions are "custom" and will not allow them to be restored to Read/Write or any other settings.
Notes: Access restrictions manifest in SMB, and web interfaces as well. However, only afp interface allows the sharing & permissions settings to be altered (i.e. to be broken). Also attempting to delete the broken folder to recover the storage results in a finder error: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8072)."
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create and mount a share via afp in OS X.
2) Create a folder ("test")
3) Create a sub folder within that folder ("test2")
4) Using command-i on "test" folder Under Sharing & Permissions, set 'everyone' to "Read only"
5) Attempt to navigate into the "test" folder. It is no longer accessible, and test2 can not be reached.
6) Open info window again (Command-i) and see "Privilege" is now set to "Custom" and is not changeable
Need a workaround to restore permissions/access, and a firmware update to address this bug.
You should classify this as a critical bug as it causes immediate and irrevocable data loss.
Thanks,
