Oct 19, 2014I decided to have a go with SSH, Sqlite and Visual Editor - not as bad as I first thought.
Thanks mdgm for the useful info.
Using the editor I removed the USB_HDD_1 and USB_HDD_3 from /etc/frontview/usb/storage.conf
Then used Sqlite to remove all USB_HDD_1 and USB_HDD_3 share occurrences that I could find in the follwoing tables of /var/readynasd/db.sq3:
nfs_share_option
rsync_share_option
ftp_share_option
share
usb_storage
I refreshed the ReadyNAS frontview and the two shares had gone. Great.
I then unplugged the USB drive and plugged it back in. Unfortunately, after mounting the device, it still shows both USB_HDD_1 & 3, but this time USB_HDD_1 is the functioning one with no red cross.
Is the share/media information referenced anywhere else that I need to delete, so that it only populates the single share?
