Thread: all files and folders are read only - HELP

i've upgraded 10.04 , have noticed files or folders i've been creating read only. can manipulate folders on ubuntu system , create new entries, folderes, subfolders, , save files. ie payment receipt in pdf format. if try move or copy of these drobo (data storage device) file gets lock icon on , becomes read only. if subfolder can no longer copy , if it's regular file, pdf or flv can't modify it. attempting change file permissions on either ubuntu desktop or other folder works once goes drobo lose ability change off of ---. again, working fine before doing upgrade 10.04. yes did clean install 10.04. ideas?? moo

your external storage device mounting read-only default or something. drive formats that. i'm not sure drobo devices whether have proprietary or standard format. don't seem to, might able create mount point , edit fstab. however, i'm not absolutely sure when concerns devices hooked in through network connection. how's yours set up? know format?
