RN104 Share Missing After Uncommanded Power On
Good evening all. Looking for any insight or help the community can provide. As it says in the title my Share on my RN104 is missing. I have seen several other posts with a similiar issues but no cle...
One option is to create a new share (different name at first - say ShareX).
Then rename the new share folder to a second new name - say ShareY - using putty/ssh, not the web ui. Leave the share in the web UI alone.
Then name the original share folder to ShareX (also using putty).
Finally rename ShareX to the original share name in the web UI. Perhaps also reset the file permissions/owners via the file access tab.
You can get rid of the empty ShareY folder using btrfs subvolume delete /data/ShareY from putty.
The above likely would need some adjustment if your files are in a home folder. But it should work for an ordinary share.
And the ls -l/<folder> command does show the correct folders.
**EDIT**
Just reattempted WinSCP with both SSH and FTP active and I was able to login as root and see all of my personal files as well as the device file/folder structure. Unfortunately, I am not Linux-literate enough to hunt for the SMB config file and fix it. Is it possible to fix/manaully edit the config file and reestablish the network share without impacting my personal files?
