Share wierdness with share named data
I am moving from a ultra plus (or at least I was) and I had three shares backup, data and media. In the ReadyNAS 312 running 6.1.5 when I create the shares that I want all seems well. Well that is u...
hello rgm60527,
i think the primary issue here is that the share is named data, which is the same as the default name for the volume.
when you access \\ip-address\data you would normally get the root folder of the data volume. at the same time you would normally get the data share when you browse to that location.
this created a conflict which causes weird behaviour. we need to prevent this in the future.
in the meantime you can work around this by renaming you data share to something else.
that should make it go away.
can you try that?
