Q: Hi I have recently moved my NAS (DROBO) to DAS (firewire) to improve speed. But now I can only read from the drobo but not save. I am not the owner in the system of the volume and cannot find how to change the permissions. Any ideas?

    Wow Dave, strange that the Last Modified Date is earlier than the Creation Date!???

     

    Ever have PRAM or Date/Time issues?

     

    If you revert to NAS for a test, do you then have R&W rights?
