- So you had separate volumes for each hard drive?
What services did you have enabled on these shares? - yes all JBOD i had ftp and smb only on the shares
- So you may need to edit the samba and proftpd config (under /etc/frontview if I recall correctly) as well as edit the readynasd sqlite3 database.
- I confirm that there is a /etc/frontview/proftpd folder for FTP config.
/etc/frontview/proftpd/Shares.conf and /etc/frontview/samba/Shares.conf are probably the files you seek.
I believe the sqlite database should be located in /var/readynasd/db.sq3
That said, I would create a support ticket and get the support to do it if this is possible, or just wait for the replacement as the manipulation on the sqlite database may void the support until a factory reset.
You may also be able to use the mount command to recreate the arborescence and point to another resource without editing the conf. Not sure it is possible though. - Replacement drive arrived tried to re create volume and shares no joy logged a call with l3 wating on a fix from them
