Shares lost from admin page
My ReadyNAS 212 has lost all shares and I only see:
I have looked at other articles mentioning the same, and I have checked I am not running out of space. And also, when I ssh to the system, I can see e.g. /data/Documents and /data/Music are there. The latter is what I really care about with lots of music stored, Documents is empty. If I then try to add a share called Music, it fails as it already exists, but I could e.g. add one called Music2. After doing so, I can manually edit /etc/frontview/samba/shares.conf, and it then shows up on the outside, but still not on the admin page.

However, clicking update, I am told I am on the latest so I cannot upgrade to 6.10:
First of all, you are seeing that message only because you've chosen to set "Check for Updates" to "long term stable" on the system->settings->update page. You can just change that setting to "stable" and you will get 6.10.10
However, if you have apps installed, then I suggest stopping at 6.10.9. 6.10.10 removes the ability to install apps from the web admin apps page.
You can download 6.10.9 from here:
Extract the firmware from the arm zip file, and then install it manually (system->settings, then press the "install firmware" button in the middle of the page.

If you do not have a backup of the files, then it would be good to make one before proceeding further.
Have you checked for a full OS partition?
There is a script that can usually fix that. But before you run it, you need to be sure you don't have a full OS partition, as the script needs space there to operate and running it without that space available can make matters worse. And you need to make sure you have a backup in case what the script tries to fix isn't your issue.
As I also wrote initially, I am not running out of space:
so the root partition has ample free space. I also heard about the script mentioned, and would very much like to have it.
Thanks!
