Q: Unable To Repair Library Permissions!!!
Hello,
I'm pulling my hair out trying to regain access to my Photos library...
My Photos library resides on a Synology NAS. After updating to macOS Sierra, I would continuously lose the connection to my NAS. Someone on another thread mentioned to use SMB instead of AFP for file transfer services. I did so, and the connection remained stable; however, ever since, attempting to open Photos gives me a "Repair Library Permissions" error message, and says "This photo library is locked or you do not have permissions to make changes to it. Photos can try to repair the permissions". I attempt to repair the library, and after about 20 min I get "An error occurred while repairing permissions".
Finally, I opened the console to see what was going on, and this is what I saw when the error occurred:
Library Permission Repair failed: Error Domain=RKRepairLibraryPermissions Code=3 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x61800025ecf0 {Error Domain=com.apple.library-repair.error Code=4 "(null)"}}
Can anyone decode this to give me a hint as to what's going on and how to fix it? Or are there any other suggestions???
I'd appreciate any info at all...
Cheers,
Chris

UPDATE: I was able to solve the issue by connecting to my NAS using CIFS instead of SMB. Now everything works great again!
