Shares visible on network but not in web gui
Hello all! I have been combing through the community trying to find an answer to this without any luck. So here goes. I have a ReadyNAS 516 (firmware 6.9.5) and it has been a wonderful NAS. I am ...
I tried all of these methods without any luck on changing the visibility. Again, I can see the share in SSH but still cannot see them in any web browser. I ended up creating a new folder and then coping all of my invisible shares into it using the mapped drive through Windows. I was able to use command line to get the copying completed faster.
Once I verifed that everything was copied to the visiable share, I deleted all of the hidden shares. It took about 10 hours to do this but it has solved the problem.
Thank you all for all your help and suggestions!
Durp! Thank you for pointing it out. If it was a snake, I would be dead.
SSH is NOT enabled.
I am familiar with command line in a lot of systems, but not specifically linux. I have access to both a Mac and PC for any diagnostics.
looking at this, i am unsure why so may services are on. I dont use a 3rd of those.

Some likely are on by default. It does make sense to turn off ones that you don't use.

If you are using XRAID, then you'd delete the temporary share using
# btrfs -c subvolume delete /data/tempsharename
To rename the existing share to tempsharename you enter
# cd /data # mv sharename tempsharename
If you aren't using XRAID, you'd need to substitute your volume name for /data.
Good morning!
I have enabled ssh to see if i can perform the above recommendation. It appears when I connect via ssh, I still cannot see the shares I am missing. I do still see them when mapping the drive and/or conneting to the sever through Finder.
This seems like some wierd permission issue. I can see the shares through some connection types, but not through others.
Any other suggestions?
Ah! I was able to get in using a different admin account. I am trying the remanes now.
Even though I can't spell renames, I was able to see my shares. However, I was unable to delete or rename using the commands above.
I am going to try to mv one of my shares into another folder that I can see.

Are you logging in as root (using the NAS admin password)?
Perhaps post the name of the shared folder?
Is it possible that the folder is hidden? That is, have you tried
# ls -alh /data | grep -i sharename
Also, is it possible that the share is somehow not at the top level of the file system? That is, have you tried
# find /data -type d -iname sharename
Note this will take a while.
It would also be helpful if you check the btrfs subvolume list
# btrfs subvolume list /data | grep -i sharename
This list would include any snapshots of the sharename. If the shared folder isn't a btrfs subvolume than you'd need a different fix than the one I gave you earlier.
For all commands: if you are using flexraid you'll need to use your actual volume name instead of data.
