Missing /bin folder (ReadyNAS 600 Pro+ RNDP600U)
While connected via ssh and performing an rsync backup I managed to delete the /bin folder on from the device rather than from the external HDD, however the copy on the external HDD is available.
...
Performing the OS reinstall from the boot menu worked, now the admin menu is reporting a drive in predictive failure (it wasn't before and I only knew via email alert). My understanding it that the drive is hot swappable, please correct me if I am wrong as I do have a replacement on hand.
You could of course copy the files with the cp command (or use rsync in the reverse direction).
Currently the ssh prompt is at the external HDD, so the correct command to execute is?
"cp -a ./bin/. /"
Apparently the not all the contents of the /bin/ were copied over to the external hdd as originally thought, there were only links:
lrwxrwxrwx ed
lrwxrwxrwx ip
lrwxrwxrwx ipaddr
lrwxrwxrwx iplink
lrwxrwxrwx iproute
lrwxrwxrwx iprule
lrwxrwxrwx iptunnel
lrwxrwxrwx lsmod.modutils
lrwxrwxrwx lspci
lrwxrwxrwx mt
lrwxrwxrwx pidof
lrwxrwxrwx rbash
lrwxrwxrwx setpci
lrwxrwxrwx sh
lrwxrwxrwx usleep
lrwxrwxrwx vi
Suppose the only thing to do now is:
- factory reset the unit
- reconfigure it
- restore all the data
