Shares Gone in Netgear Browser Interface, but I can still map in Windows 10
I have access through Windows 10 to the shares, but they do not appear in the Netgear ReadyNAS Admin page. Instead, I see only the Home Folders, and cannot browse back to "Data". I have no idea wha...
Have you confirmed your OS partition isn't full? Are you comfortable with SSH? There is a script that you can run via SSH that is the usual fix, but it should not be run if you have a full or nearly full OS partition: share_lun_ui_fix.sh .
I have 7TB available....less than 5 used. I'm not practiced with SSH. I saw a similar thread that mentioned SSH, but it was the opposite of my situation....could see shares, but could not map in Windows. I will take a look at that in the morning. Thank you for the suggestion.

That is your data volume, not the OS partition (which is only 4 GB).
Are you seeing any messages indicating that the root is full in the logs?
No messages indicating OS volume is full or nearing max. I have never used SSH.
I was manipulating account permissions yesterday because I have not been able to access the NAS remotely. Could I have changed something there that would have restricted my view to only the Home folders? All of my users have admin privileges, so it doesn't seem consistent that an admin user would not have access to the other shares, but I've seen similar confusing situations occur, where I've changed a password, and then cannot log into the system with the new password.
Changing file permissions is exactly where such a problem could occur if the OS volume is too full, but I suppose there could be another problem then as well. The ReadyNAS has it's own set of files that are used in the GUI -- it doesn't rely strictly on the Linux system. If those files are missing or corrupt, what you are seeing is the result. Admin users have access to everything, not a small subset, so that's not it.
That script looks at the Linux information and re-creates the associated OS files.
Running a script via SSH is not very hard, but now is also not the best time to start using it. You should definately make a backup of your files, then either try the script yourself or let Netgear support do it for you.
