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.

Stephen,
Sorry for the delay, I've been out of town. But more importantly, you saved my bacon man. I followed your suggestion using WinSCP (the command line and I never get along) and was able to recover my share without issue it seems. The only snag I've run into is not being able to delete the temprorary folder. The system returns that it cannot be deleted because there are files within the folder, even though it's empty. Definetely something I can live with for now.
One other option I thought of while doing this is to create a new Share like you suggested, but then just copy the date from the old folder into the new share folder using WinSCP or the command line as desired. Either way, glad to have my files back. Thank you for your help man,
