LaCei EDMINI V2 data storage problems
Hi
I am using an Lacei EDMINI v2 1TB harddisk drive, presently i want to back up some data from my system so was trying to use it as a normal external harddisk drive, but my computer could not recognise it as an normal external harddrive. I had to map the Lacei disk as a drive only then I could see the files.
The other major issues is even if I have about 926GB free space, whenever I try to backup files I get an error saying Not enough disk space in EDMINI please clear some space and try again. I could not create any folders nor I could copy any of my files. (Please see the attached picture of the error I get)
My questions are how do I use the lacei as an normal external drive (i.e without needing to map)
How do I copy my files to Lacei EDMINI V2 (even if it requires to be mapped)
Thank you

Maybe it is a borblem with arithmetics in explorer interface?
Can you copy from elevated cmd?

I am sorry I dont understand what your answer meant, I am just an end user for this device.
I guess the problems are to do more with permission settings but I am uncertain how to set permissions in my windows or linux machines.

From what I can see from the manual, even when it is connected to the PC via USB, the USB device is installed as a network device, so you still don't have direct access to the disk inside, but rather everything still goes through the OS working inside the NAS.
From what I also have seen in the manual, there are logs created on the NAS which you can view. Check what is logged when you get the error.

Hi, I have set up the disk via Ethernet not the USB.
When the error pops up this is what I get in the log
Nov 12 15:22:30 (none) auth.info httpd(pam_unix)[7842]: session opened for user admin by (uid=0)
Nov 12 15:22:30 (none) auth.info httpd(pam_unix)[7842]: session closed for user admin
Nov 12 15:23:18 (none) auth.info httpd(pam_unix)[7890]: session opened for user admin by (uid=0)
Nov 12 15:23:18 (none) auth.info httpd(pam_unix)[7890]: session closed for user admin
I hv attached the log file along. edmini-log.txt

Check if there is a firmware upgrade available for your NAS.

Hi I have done the firmware upgarde aswell and still no use. Same problems persists.

I am posting a detailed question here as my other thread was deleted, just so the flow can be understood.
>>>
I have set up a Lacei EDMINI V2 1TB network storage harddrive over a network. The network and drive works fine. I could get into the drive using http:// , ftp:// or smb:// protocols from a browser and also in windows (my computer/windows explorer) and see my files(that I stored sometime back)
I have also set up an user account in lacei via the administration panel (the user account has the same user name and password as my windows login) and have set the permission to read write files in share for that user account.
However whenever I try to write(i.e upload) to my EDMINI from my computer ( either from a system running Windows Vista or Linux) I am unable to do so. I cannot even create new folders aswell. I am feel struck with this as I cant see what is going wrong here, I have set the appropriate permissions and still the problem persist even after many permutations of trying.
In windows vista I get a error saying the disk is full though there is enough of disk space. In linux I could not use ftp to write to the file nor use any ftp client to view the files ( the files are visible only via a browser), if I used samba smb:// then the files show up but I could not write (i.e upload) any files . I am using just small files of less than 2mb size just for testing still I am unable to write to the disk.
Can someone please let me know how I can resolve these issues.
This is the precise model I have http://www.lacie.com/uk/support/support_manifest.htm?id=10216&article=1026
Thank you

Thank you
it must be something at the Lacie side that is going wrong. If the accounts are setup properly I would suggest getting in touch with them. Possibly this is a case for your warranty.
ASKER
Yes I did get in touch with the support guys but they give lame answers and it takes a long time to get reply.

Solved this now by reformatting the drive. Thanks for the efforts to help.
