ShareName (FONTS) is reserved

Hello community -

 

while setting up my new ReadyNAS 214 (my old server unfortunately died over the Easter weekend), I have encountered this error message "ShareName (FONTS) is reserved", Code: 1002020808.

 

I was trying to restore the surroundings we used to have with the old NAS. All the other folder names are working, only this one acts as if "FONTS" were a name reserved by the operating system. I could work around this but it would be a bit of a hassle for my users because they would have to re-organize their font groups.

 

Every hint is welcome, thanks in advance!

Hello goer,

 

Okay, I checked with others and found out that FONTS is one of the share names that you cannot use because it will conflict with HTTP share even if you do not use HTTP on shares. You can use FONT but not with the letter S at the end of the word.

 

Regards,

Never encountered that before, but the error message seems self-explanatory.

Well the name was not reserved in the old RAIDar system (version 4.xx), otherwise I would not have been wondering why...

Hello goer,

 

Can you check if you will be able to add this name as a local user? It could mean that it is being used in the program of the ReadyNAS OS of your device and if that is the case then it is a product limitation.

Same results -> "reserved".

I get the same error, and It isn't a user account or group on my RN526.

Thanks a lot JennC,

 

at least we have a plausible explanation now. We have gone with "SCHRIFTEN" instead and have changed/updated all links to that volume.

 

Cheers
