Problem with access via CIFS, NFS works fine
Hello perhaps someone is so kind to help me with a problem which really makes me mad: I've got a ReadyNAS Ultra 2, some weeks ago I resetted the Ultra to factory default while installing 2 2TB HDs. ...
I strongly suspect the issue is the one I described - in which case, no your data is not at risk, the problem is that the CIFS server has an incorrect parameter - a bug Netgear introduced in 4.2.19. (Though a complete backup is *always* to be recommended)
You can verify if this truly is the the issue by performing a "Config Backup" (Frontview >> System >> Config Backup). This will generate a zip file with all of the data related to your setup, one of the files being called "Shares.conf". In that file you should check for a share called "media" being configured to access "/c/media" as follows:
If your path is not set to "/c/media" then my diagnosis is correct.
A common workaround to correct this is to rename your media share in Frontview, and then rename it back to "media" - this typically corrects the the config file, and 4.2.20 should prevent the fault happening again.
FYI: The NFS setup is separate to CIFS and so unaffected by this issue which is why you can access the data over NFS
