ReadyNAS 214 - Why is new Volume not appearing on my network?
Firmware 6.10.10. Check for updates, no new updates available ReadyNAS 214. I have added a new disk and created a new JBOD volume, but when I connect to the ReadyNAS through my network, I can't see...
Try creating a share on the volume.
Thanks again, Stephen
Have logged in with admin, got the same results.
Just now I destroyed the 'old' volume 3B, and have created a new volume, 3A in the unlikely event that for some reason THIS volume needed to be created by the specific admin account. Don't know why I would of course, since I haven't used 'admin' since whenever.
No joy there, either, though, when connecting to the network with 'admin' credentials. As before, have 4 green lights on the console and everything is showing online when hovering over the disk representation on the console.
Currently running a disk test via the admin login, just for the sake of it, but doubt that will do anything at all.
Try creating a share on the volume.
Well, I don't know if it was the disk test I was doing (unlikely, though), but while the disk test was running I did add a general share to the drive.
Hey, presto! Both the drive, AND the share I had created, magically appeared on all my network devices.
I have since deleted the share, and (not unsurprisingly) the drive is staying visible to all, and I can do my stuff with it.
So whatever it was, clearly creating the share triggered whatever needed to be triggered, for the volume to be visible to my devices. It wasn't the creation of the share itself as being a requirement - as previously mentioned, two other volumes don't have shares on them (and never have). But once the share was created (and I mean immediately it was created) all was resolved.
So thanks heaps for your input.We can note that creation of a temporary share is a good troubleshooting item if anyone else has this challenge...or if I ever get it again.
How long ago were those other volumes created? My best guess here is that a change in the OS (maybe intentional, maybe not) changed when SMB attributes are assigned to a volume.
