Eject USB Drive from command line (ReadyNAS 102) [UPDATE]
Hardware: Netgear ReadyNAS 102. (firmware 6.10.4)
UPDATE:
This is an update to the script in my original post (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Eject-USB-Drive-from-command-line-ReadyNAS-102/td-p/1031498).
I originally wrote this because I could not get umount to work consistently. This script uses the same USB unmount process as the admin web front-end, so is very reliable.
With shell access to your NAS, you can list the USB mounted drives using the following:
# ls -l /media/ total 8 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 Feb 24 22:19 USB_HDD_3
To unmount using the script, do the following:
# ./usb_eject.sh /media/USB_HDD_3 USB_device=sdc1
Now the drive is unmounted:
# ls -l /media/ total 0
usb_eject.sh
#!/bin/bash
envecho() {
echo ${1}=${!1}
}
usb_pattern=${1%/}
[[ -z ${usb_pattern} ]] && {
echo
echo "need path to USB device"
echo " eg $ usb_eject.sh /media/USB_FLASH_6"
echo
exit 2
}
# Get device from mountpoint eg /media/USB_FLASH_6
USB_device=$(lsblk -P -o NAME,MOUNTPOINT |sed -n "s|^NAME=\"\([^\"]*\)\" *MOUNTPOINT=\"${usb_pattern}\"|\1|p")
[[ -z ${USB_device} ]] && {
# Ok, that didn't work; how about /run/nfs4/media/USB_FLASH_6?
USB_device=$(lsblk -P -o NAME,MOUNTPOINT |sed -n "s|^NAME=\"\([^\"]*\)\" *MOUNTPOINT=\"/run/nfs4${usb_pattern}\"|\1|p")
# Out of ideas, exit
[[ -z ${USB_device} ]] && {
echo "Cannot detect USB device using lsblk -P -o NAME,MOUNTPOINT"
exit 1
}
}
envecho USB_device
# Call event_push to eject the USB device as done from admin console
# event_push logs to /var/log/readynasd/event_push.log
event_push shell readynasd "<xs:delete-s resource-type=\"HotPlug\" resource-id=\"UsbStorage\" action=\"eject\" device=\"${USB_device}\"></xs:delete-s>" 1 1
exit $?Hope this helps
