How to start samba service in tech support mode?
I am in the recovery step. But I am in the tech suppot mode with telnet. The recovery folder is /mnt/recovery. Now how should I backup data to external drive? How can I enable the samba service in...
You could connect a USB drive directly to the NAS and just mount that.
Have you tried
# service snmpd start
Good idea. Stephen
Can you share how to mount the usb drive? I am using a ntfs based usb drive.

It's not something I do much. You would want to mount the OS partition and chroot if you haven't done that already.
It's possible that the USB drive would automatically mount. You can mount all unmounted drives with
# mount -a
There's a more general guide here: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/articles/how-to-mount-usb-drive-in-a-linux-system though of course you don't use sudo when you are logged in as root.
no luck.
# mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/root on / failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting tmpfs on /dev/shm failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting tmpfs on /tmp failed: Invalid argument

Does the tutorial help?
