RBR50 - Attached not showing
I have had the RBR50 (and satellite) for a couple of years. All was going well until the last few days. I "installed" a new computer when some "challenges" appeared. I have five Netear NAS on my h...
If this is the product:

I would probably follow the installation guide:

and maybe post a question in the community forum for Ready/Share NAS:

The first page seems to have a number of posts about the 212 product.
CrimpOn ...
I may have (probably did!!) make an error in setting up two new ReadyNAS 212 units. All seems to be fine, except there are NO SHARES in the volumns. As such, I can not move any data files to them. They otherwise show as attached, and so on. I can "open" them, but they are blank. The "book" says about four (or five) shares appear automatically when using "Setup Wizard" for new units. I started by powering the NAS, then inserting two blank drives. I was on RAIDar, and was lead to a setup process -- name, e-mail, and so on. Again, they appear to be "OK," but just empty. I tried "New Share," and RAIDar said the existing share (which is empty, with the unit not accepting any input) would be elimiated. I was hesitant to continue -- considering I probably goofed from the beginning.
I was trying to move folders from my "old" ReadyNAS Duo to one of the new ReadyNAS 212 (with larger-capacity drives, by the way). Many moons back, a contributor suggested using the "old and slow" ReadyNAS Duo as the backup for the faster NAS. This was my plan.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Golly. I just do not know what to say, but thank you. Every time you respond to one of my "challenges," it gets cleared up! You must have a magic keyboard, or something.
As it turns out, I did follow the installation as prescribed -- except for one tiny point. I powered up the NAS before inserting the blank drives. I did create some new folders, in lieu of those the wizard was to set up, and those new folders showed on my laptop, and I was able to transfer my files to the new NAS from the old. Whew! I was beginning to think it would never happen.
Anyway. Thank you for your time, effort and patience. I appreciate it all very much.
You do need to get a/some ReadyNAS devices for your own system!! They are great!
