RN104 shared folders disappeard after firmware update to 6.5.0
Hello everybody,
I need help. Like in subject - after firmware upgrade all shared folders disapeard. I rolled back FW to previous version, but it doesn't helped. I logged in via ssh, I manually mounted filesystem in /mnt catalog - all folders and files are accessible from ssh level, but still not visible on admin page. How can I resolve this issue? Is there dedicated mount point for shared folders or problem is somewhere else? Can enyone help me?
Thanks.

I suggesting making a backup if you don't have one.
It sounds like the config files (or the database) has been corrupted somehow. Perhaps send the logs to the attention mdgm-ntgr and/or kohdee with a link to this thread.
You email the logs, the address is here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/21543/~/how-do-i-send-all-logs-to-readynas-community-moderators%3F
You could create new shares (with different names), and move the old folder contents into them with ssh.
If you do that, use --reflink on the cp command - otherwise you'll end up copying the data instead of moving it. That's because each share is a btrfs subvolume. Then delete the old folders (they likely still are btrfs subvolumes, in which case you'll need to use btrfs subvolume delete). Then rename the share back to the original name.
If you haven't done much with btrfs, you should review the btrfs man pages before you enter these commands, especially if you can't wait for the backup to complete.
Note that copying with --reflink won't add any more space to the volume, and you can make the files available (using the termporary share name) while you are waiting for the backup to complete.
