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 try
# touch /.os_update
or
# echo > /.os_update
Then reboot the NAS
Or do an OS Re-install using the boot menu. This should recreate the /bin folder.
Doesn't touch reside within the /bin/ folder or am I mistaken?
Hmmm. Good point.
In that case you may need to use the boot menu to do an OS Re-install. Though depending how much the system is messed up doing a factory reset and restoring from backup may still be the best way forward.
Though you just need to do anything that creates the /.os_update file (it can be empty)
Even something like
1 > /.os_update
might work. It'd give an error but it'd probably still create the file.
Where is this file to reside, I would want to verify the file creation using:
rsync --list-only -v
I am assuming a reboot of the device would then be necessary to complete the process or will this happen or is tht not the case.
In the process of validting my backup copy to the external USB hdd before I loose the ability to mount devices.
