I made a folder on /data using the command line shell. How can I make it show up in the Shares list?
So I logged into my ReadyNAS314 via ssh, went to /data and made a new directory. It works fine, but doesn't appear in the list of shares on the web gui. Is there a way to refresh that list, or is...
Make a new share with a different name, and move the data into it. Then delete the old folder, and rename the share.

It is invisible. The web UI creates a share as a btrfs subvolume, which you probably did not do. There are other set-up aspects that need the UI as well.
Why didn't you use the web ui?
Not using the UI was just lack of experience. But now I have lots of data in that folder that I'd like to keep.
What if I made a new share through the UI, and rename my folder to match the name of that share?
Or make a new share, and copy everything over?
Thanks for your help.

If I make a share from the UI, and use the ssh shell to put data into it, will that data be recognized/snapshotted/etc by the UI?
Thanks for your help.
