First i am trying to delete folders in the shares (locally am trying to delete) and i get a undifnded "error message" to make things weirder, when i created a share on my readynas (locally again) on my mac, the share name comes up as something totally different. the first letter is correct, but the rest is wrong with a ~
What firmware is the NAS running?
Are you creating the share from the NAS web ui? Or are you trying to create a folder in the root of the data volume from the Mac?
Have you tried deleting the folders from the NAS web ui? Go to the shares tab, and select "browse". You can also delete from there.
I suggest downloading the full log zip file, as that likely has clues on what is going on. We can help interpret it if you need that. Getting it sooner is good, as the logs do rotate, and if you wait the clues we need might be rotated out.
Hi, thank you for your response. I had shut it down last night, boot up and all was working well. Unfortunately, today I had to delete another file and I got the undifened error message again. I am deleting it from the WEB gui, (locally on the IP address of the NAS). The firmware is I believe the latest one, 6.10.8 I updated it when I first got the NAS. I did have a few power outages, but the system was properly shut down since it was on a UPS system, so I would press the power off button, and wait for it to shut down and didn’t force any sort of power off. How do I send system logs? Thanks again. I am also setting up the folders on the WEB gui.
I also have some important data on my NAS that I don’t want being shared to the public, will my data be on the logs?

No, though its possible that file/folder names will be in them.
Also, IP address, and your email address if alerts are configured.
If you do want to send them, it's best to put the full zip into cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc), and then send a download link. Send the link via private message (PM) using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
I suggest running the disk test from the settings wheel on the volume (on the volume page). That will take hours to days to complete (depending on the size of the disk drives).
Also, I fixed all the issues (thanks for all your help)!! I have another question now, not sure if I should post another post or reply on this one. Anyways I’d like to upgrade the ram but like to know what precautions I should take (ie do I have to worry about static electricity), and so on. I know that the system can take 4GB of ram, will my unit overheat, or have any issues? I’m a little bit skeptical, as once upon a time (2 years ago) I was talking to a guy how did severs and he explained that adding on to any device would cause overheating. But did not specify a NAS device just in general. I am not adding any more ram slots, am just upgrading it. Should I see a drop in performance? Please let me know, I paid a lot of money for this unit and would hate for it to get damaged. Thanks, in advance.
To be a bit more clear, it does actually delete the file/picture that I press the delete button on, but before then I get the ‘undefined’ error message.
