Readynas 104 6.10.2 I remove thuesday the dlna protocol from one of my shares. After this the nas completely frozen, only removing the power was helping. Now all my shares are gone :-( All data...

Thanks for your reply and time.
I Don't see error's in the log, will look closer this afternoon.
Volume's are there and the shares are visible and accessible from my win pc. Every thing looks ok, all data is there.
However the shares are not visible and therefore not manageable in the Netgear admin panel.
Solution:
I added a temporary new share and after that it was possible to restore my Config backup without error's. After the reboot the shares where visible again and everything looks fine again.
My good old duo RND2000v2 with some external usb hdd making every 2 weeks backup of the RND104, so data is always backuped.

Are you seeing any other errors in the logs? In particular, are you seeing a full root volume?
Your data is at risk, so the first thing to do is make sure it is backed up to another device.

@EdjDek
This should be resolved by running a script.
The script finds shares that were accidentally broken in the UI and fixes it. Additionally, performs migration of created folders in the roots of volumes to btrfs subvolume.
You will have to access your NAS thru SSH and apply the script. I will send it through PM.

If such a script exists and is generic in nature, why is there not a way to run it via the GUI without having to get it special delivery and run via SSH? This is not the first time we have seen users state that shares have been "lost" to the GUI, so there is a need.
