DSM7 upgrade question

#1

I upgraded my synology to DSM7. All of the files in the old Channels DVR folder are owned by root:root, e.g.

34157103 1186656 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1215135744 Jan 14 2022 ./TV/Flip\ or\ Flop/Flip\ or\ Flop\ S10E03\ Back\ to\ the\ Basics\ 2022-01-13-2000.mpg

Do we need to chown them to the new user? I am getting permission problems out of the DVR about failing to write and delete these files.

I am also seeing errors like this:

Try this post: Warning - Synology DSM7 - #29 by tmm1

I have already done that but in the OS the files still have root:root as the owners and I am getting errors

#4

I see this thread too: Synology DSM 7.x "Permission Denied"

It looks like the user chowned the files in the folder that channels writes to/reads from. I am always wary of changing ownership but, it seems to have worked for that user.

#5

Yes I did this from the Channels DVR directory:

sudo chown -R channels:channels .

And my problem appears to have cleared up. @maddox Should this have been done or did I miss something in the stepup directions?
