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?

Hi there. The latest one according to the device.
Something has gone very wrong, I am genuinely upset because I need to get the date off the drives. I have no trust for this device.
So in short at the minute I can access the device.
Backups cannot be performed, this area simply does not work. Adding backups now results in it starting then immediately stopping, it thinks its completed but its not. Trying to remove that back up does not work it remains in the dashboard.
So my only course of action is to download the files, however the device is not getting above 6-8MB/s download speed meaning I have literally days left to get the data safe.
the 1 2 3 4 on the front of the device is not lit up, the shares do not appear in the MAC finder anymore I have to manually connect to them.
All in all I think the device is in melt down. The major issue for me is getting the data off. I thought everything was sorted so wiped the back ups in order to slot them in an old NAS in order that I could back up from the readynas to the old NAS. This is when everything went wrong so I am currently reliant on the readynas not going totally south.
A total mess.
