I have mounted a drive from my DLINK DNS 320 Nas onto my Mac Mini 10.9 via AFP. One of the subfolders where I usually store photos (named '2013') is currently showing restricted access permissions, and wont let me copy any more photos onto it. All the other subfolders have mode 777 and allow read/write:

drwxrwxrwx  1 john  staff      568 Apr  6  2012 2010
drwxrwxrwx  1 john  staff      738 Apr  6  2012 2011
drwxrwxrwx  1 john  staff      636 Oct 10 10:11 2012
drwxr-xr-x  1 john  staff      466 Dec  2 11:00 2013

I tried to change the mode of the 2013 folder by doing:

sudo chmod -R a+rwx /Volumes/Volume_1/photos/2013

but the operation was not permitted. How can I make the 2013 folder writeable again?

From Mounting NAS Volumes in Mac OS X the Right Way :

My original idea was to mount my NAS to a folder in /Volumes. This was problematic due to weird permission issues and automatic folder removal after a reboot. I finally realized that for better integration into my normal workflow, I would be far better off mounting the NAS to my home directory in /Users/<account>/.

The author of the article therefore added the following line to his /etc/auto_afp file :

/Users/brandon/GoFlex -fstype=afp  afp://brandon:[email protected]/brandon

I used the following command to manually mount the NAS drive into a subfolder of ~:

mount_afp afp://mynas.local/Volume_1 /Users/myname/NAS
