Copying from root to share
Hello,
I am trying to save my Plex Media Server settings to move to a different server.
I have accessed the settings containing the folders via SSH and Putty. But now I'm trying to copy those files and save them somewhere. Another share, my computer's desktop, anywhere. How do I access the ReadyNAS shares from within root? I've tried things like:
copy /apps/plexmediaserver/MediaLibrary/Plex Media Server /mynas/Software
but it can't find the address of that share.
What would the correct directory name be?
Thanks!
I have figured it out. I was able to get to /mynasname/Videos. I swear I did this yesterday and it said it was not a directory. But now I am finally copying over my plex data! Thanks!

Asuming OS6.x, the shares are in /data. So the Videos share is /data/Videos. Don't forget to change ownership and/or permissions so you can access them using a user other than "root".
If it's an older NAS, please specify.
Thanks, Sandshark. And yes, I am on OS6.6.1.
It is saying /data/Videos is not a valid directory. (And yes, I do have a share named Videos.)
Maybe your volume isn't called data?
btrfs fi sh mount | grep md127

If you are normally a DOS/Windows person (as I am) then you have to be diligent about the direction of the slashes and case sensitivity. I'm always doing a Homer Simpson "Duh!" when I get under the hood on a Linux system. Glad you figured it out.
