Can I repair permissions on an external RAID1

Question

I have an external RAID1 set that has permissions set to Read & Write, all categories, Ignore ownership is turned on. Intended for data storage only. When I copy a folder of files to this RAID, the files in the folder wind up with "No Access" permissions under the Group and Others categories. I am trying to get these files to take on the permissions of the drive itself, which is R&W but can't find out how. The Ignore ownership is supposed to correct this but doesn't. I started Disk Utility on the Boot Drive and tried to repair permissions on the RAID set but no luck, repair permissions does not highlight. Does repair permissions work on a RAID1 drive? Any other thoughts on why the individual files in the folders do not take on the R&W attributes of the drive?

Answer 1

You could use folder actions to change the permissions on a file that you dropped on your external hard drive. I believe you will it need to place an action on each folder that you drop a file on.
first, you need to have the AppleScript program in the correct folder.
"/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/"
Also, shown in the pull-down below.
second, you need to enable folder actions by clicking on the box.
third third, you need to pick a folder and assign the AppleScript.

Here is an example, dropLog, folder actions Applescript.
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving dropped_items
repeat with dropped_item_ref in dropped_items
display dialog "dropped files is " & dropped_item_ref
set posix_path to POSIX path of dropped_item_ref
(* Check out "'" how valid this is with Unix!!! *)
set the_query to "ls -lF " & "'" & posix_path & "'"
display dialog the_query
set ls_result to do shell script the_query
display dialog "ls result = " & ls_result
end repeat
end adding folder items to
How to use chmod
mac $ pwd
/Users/mac
mac $ touch testseeit
mac $ ls -l testseeit 
-rw-r--r--   1 mac  staff  0 Nov 11 23:33 testseeit
mac $ chmod 660 testseeit 
mac $ ls -l testseeit 
-rw-rw----   1 mac  staff  0 Nov 11 23:33 testseeit
mac $ 
of course for cryptic info...
man chmod
There is the chown command for changing the owner and group.
