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...
Thanks for the reply. Deleting the share Data is sort of a solution, while itself being a kludge as any organization for the NAS goes out the window. further thoughts about adopting this suggestion as a solution that come to mind are:
1. it makes me change from long held procedure which was never a problem with my ReadyNAS Duo and Ultra Plus until someone made an arbitrary decision to suddenly start giving the volume a default name.
2. While your suggestion does work, I now have to deal with structure and procedure changes that ripples throughout from re-educating users to modifying scripts for backups and shortcuts.
3. I had raised this conflict with Netgear support yesterday when I was experiencing all sorts of bizarreo-land behavior with being unable to change or delete (other than Data)some share properties ranging from unknown user to invalid groups manifesting itself when trying to alter snapshot, deleting the share or other actions and the agent had NO concerns...
4. As you say the arbitrary decision to suddenly start providing a label for the volume that now conflicts with a share name - someone, somewhere should have had the bright idea to prevent the share name from conflicting! However and personally I don't think changing the name of boat in the middle of the ocean is anywhere close to reasonable action especially when considering installed bases practice. At the very least the owner should have the option of choosing the name of the volume , not some developer in some far away place...
5. Still leaves me with unstable behavior with the other shares and doesn't address the Windows 7 versus Windows 8 with the home share... Especially since in the NAs the home share is deactivated.
