I am having a problem managing art libraries located on a NAS drive. When I attempt to add graphic files, I randomly get a “not allowed” symbol 
in place of the graphics. There is no issue on the local drives with the same library. I want to use NAS to share the art libraries between computers and allow for backups.
Any suggestions to resolve this issue?
I’m also running a Synology NAS ( DS218play) and store my Art and Material library files on it. I also store my design files there too and have not had any issues whatsoever. I’m running Win10 on both laptops that I use LightBurn on.
Not sure whether this is much help but at least you know it’s not an inherent problem.
Thanks for the quick reply Marcus.
It works fine for the first few files that I add then it’s random. Seems almost like a handshake/bandwidth issue with the library. Maybe my NAS is causing a delay that Lightburn doesn’t like. It does cause Lightburn to crash if I delete the “not allowed” symbol in the library.

Thanks to swampyone on the LAHobbyGuy site, I think I was able to resolve the issue by creating a iSCSI LUN on my NAS as a storage device.
I’ll post the Synology knowledgebase links:

That’s great that you’ve found a solution, thanks for the links, I’ll save those to my bookmarks.
Note that this isn’t necessarily like for like for what you have now. I believe typically these are meant to only be attached to a single initiator at a time. So if concurrent access from multiple clients is required this might be a problem but YMMV.
