[Glaven Clattuck]

So try to create a share "Public" and reboot the NAS.

mount
ls -al /shares

Mate, before i forget it. Thank you for the time you are spend to me and for your patience. I appreciate it, really.

So now the question is whether the content of an existing folder is deleted by the firmware when creating a share with the same name.

I'd rather to check this issue before creating the share "Share" (which should contain the recovery data)

-create a folder 'try' in /shares

Code: Select all

mkdir -m 777 /shares/try

-create a file 'try.txt' in /shares/try

Code: Select all

touch /shares/try/try.txt

Then set a share 'try' and look at if try.txt still exists

Code: Select all

ls -l /shares/try/try.txt

i made the first two step, but can you explain to me what do you mean with the phrase:

Then set a share 'try' and look at if try.txt still exists[code]ls -l /shares/try/try.txt

do i have to make a new share via dashboard and name it "try"?
Or?

[Jocko]

i have to make a new share via dashboard and name it "try"

yes that is

[fvdw]

I would look in the folder /shares/Public

Code: Select all

ls -al /shares/Public

Note that path names are case sensitive in linux

[fvdw]

Ps as long as your dasboard shows that 13,5 TB is used of the 15 it means your files must still be there somewhere

[Glaven Clattuck]

yes that is

you want believe it! I follow your tips and create a try Share via dashboard, and now on, if a look into this directory the try.txt it's not there, but at its place there are dozens and dozens of my filles.
Let me be more precise.
My Lacie had three volumes, called Concerts, Movies and Music.
Now on the try directory, I found the files that were in "concerts"
This is to say that if I make two other directories with any name, the same thing should happen?
It seems incredible but true.

[Glaven Clattuck]

I would look in the folder /shares/Public

Code: Select all

ls -al /shares/Public

Note that path names are case sensitive in linux

this is the result:

Code: Select all

[root@LaCie-5big shares]# ls -al /shares/Public

about try.txt file is normal it disappeared (the check would be done on the md4 device side and not on the mountpoint side) :pound

about your shares, I did not understand well how the firmware handle the several mountpoint of md4

So can you post now

Code: Select all

mount
ls -al /shares
ls -al /shares/try

And try to mount manually md4 again

Code: Select all

mkdir /lacie/md4
mount /dev/md4 /lacie/md4
ls -al /lacie/md4

[fvdw]

What is inside /shares/Public/Temporary
