Setting new share issue
Hi, I have created a new share this morning to allow SAMBA and AFP. In samaba it shows but not in AFP, even after a couple of hours. Am I supposed to restart the NAS everytime I set a new share?
I am having all sorts of issues not sure where to go next really.
AFP button in the dashboard thing simply does nothing, I have created a couple of shares, SAMBA show sup ok but AFP no dice.
I have also set an rysnc backup to another NAS, but after a while the readynas simply crashes, Its not a very good device. For me a NAS has to offer the user confidence their data is safe. Of course its not a back up, I know that but I need confidence its not going to be so flakey as to up may chances of failure.
Right now I am trying to find ways of backing it up because I am only confident its going to go tits up any minute, as it turns out even attaching USB drives is not easy, although it will happily recognise apple formatted drives, I am not allowed to write to them, Furthermore there does not appear to be a way to fromat the drive from withint the readynas software in order that I can write to it.
Not a great experience at all basically
