hard linked home dir????
I have recently discovered an unusual and unexplainable thing on my readynas and I am hoping someone has some insight about it. Something has created a hard link to my home dir, calling it the same ...
yep, readycloud is the one! I had to hit the "leave" button the readycloud screen in frontview and that nuked the folder. Need to learn a little more about how readycloud works...but thanks for that.
I suspect it's a ReadyCloud account. Did you look in the web ui on the cloud users page?
Where exactly are you seeing the hard link?
well I don't actually know for sure its a hard link...as there is no way to see if something is a hard link or not. What I can see is that all the dirs under /home have the same inode value...but that might be normal for dirs, I'm not sure.
But what I can say is that this dir with the same name as my email, is there, I can't remove it and I'm not sure how it got there or why I can't remove it.
/home/<email>/

/home is a mount, it should be showing you the same information as /data/home. Normally a folder there means that username of <email> was created by the system (and that someone logged into that account). ReadyCloud of course uses that convention, so you should look on the "cloud users" tab of the accounts page in the admin web ui.
Subvolumes all show an inode of 256 (and I believe each users's home folder is a btrfs subvolume).

I tell ya what's weird though. When I clicked the leave button that deleted the dir, but then when turned readycloud back on, the dir didn't come back again.. very strange! Anyway, that's what it is.
