I have a buffalo terastation pro TS-HTGL/R5 that is mostly working but it seems to have some issues with NFS. Currently using Firmware 1.33.
It seems that when I have a directory shared out via both CIFS/NFS , on the unix/nfs side for some reason as a normal user when I do an operation such as 'cp -p' which "copies while preserving the timestamp" it fails. The NAS appliance overwrites the timestamp with the current one. Mount options in /etc/vfstab are defaults , no speical options (even tried manual mounting)
I did notice however, when I am logged in as ROOT, that cp -p works as expected.. just NOT as any other user.
I also wanted to point out in all of our NFS shares, for the group / owner it only shows the GID/UID .. it does NOT show any user/group associated with this.. I don't fully grasp how this device handles GID/UID mapppings.
So any help / direction is appreciated .. this is just too bizarre!
Thanks!
Nick
Unfortunately, I don't have any workaround or advice to give as Unix is outside of my scope however, you could try to PM Colin137 and see if he has anything to say about it.
