DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Sorry - something didn't quite work right there - when you create a RAID array, you should only see Volume_1, and no, you cannot change the names.

Yes, I believe you're stuck with Volume_1 & Volume_2, although it might be possible if you're running fun_plug and familiar with linux to change those names, as far as I know it can not be done otherwise - you should, however, be able to create new shares on Volume_2.

JBOD - Just a Bunch of Disks - essentially creates one large drive from the two disks - it's not something that I would use.

But does this mean Im "stuck" with Volume_1 and Volume_2? Under network access I can create new shares but only on Volume_1 it seems.

I've been running the DNS-323 with FW 1.3 and 1.4b61,
as a RAID1, a RAID0 and now JBOD.

In all cases I was able to remove the Volume_1 share (I don't like that name at all).
Simply delete it (trashcan icon) under Advanced, Network Access, Network Access List.
After that, I created the directories I wanted as shares under Volume_1 using FTP.
You could also create them at the same level as Volume_1.
After that, back to the web interface, and start adding shares.
Using Browse, select the directory you want under Volume_1.
The share name will be the same as the directory name.
Set permissions to your preferences and don't forget to save the changes.

I think I even managed to share the directory Volume_1 as mydata
by selecting it in the browse dialog and manually changing the text in the textbox to mydata
This way, you could add it as a hidden share root$, for example.


This is how my DNS show up in Network Neighboorhood
Svr-data01
  + audio
  + documenten
  + foto
  + games
  + software
  + video
  + web_page
    Printers en faxaparaten

No Volume_1, but getting rid of web_page is beyond my knowledge.

Folks, I found these instructions elsewhere in this forum, but can't link as I don't remember where, so here's my version which works fine.

1) First, you must install fun_plug and you can find instructions elsewhere on the forum.

2) FP (fun_plug) needs to be put in a directory on the first hard drive (/mnt/HD_a2) and creates a directory structure that includes:
/mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/start.

There are several scripts in the start directory. When the 323 is booted up, FP will execute all shell scripts in there that have an executable permission.  You will need to put an entry in this directory later.


3) create a directory, in this example, /mnt/HD_a2/conf/. Within conf, create another directory named backup.  Telnet or ssh into the 323 and copy /etc/samba/smb.conf to /mnt/HD_a2/conf/

(Note, you can't just edit /etc/samba/smb.conf, as the next time you restart the 323 it gets overwritten.)

4) Edit the smb.conf in the /mnt/HD_a2/conf dir. You will see the lines: [ Volume_1] and [ Volume_2 ] if you search. Change them to a name you like (I used NAS1 and NAS2).

5) Create the following script, perhaps called something like "new_samba_conf.sh" in /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/start/ and make sure that it's permissionss are executable:

########start of script
#!/bin/sh

# stop samba
/usr/bin/smb stop

# backup default smb.conf
cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /mnt/HD_a2/conf/backup/smb.conf

# copy new config file
cp /mnt/HD_a2/conf/smb.conf  /etc/samba/smb.conf

# restart samba
/usr/bin/smb start

####### end of script

When the 323 is restarted, the old Volume_1 /Volume_2 names will be used, but FP will stop the samba server, copy the smb.conf file to the correct location (while backing up the original one) and restart the samba server.


NOTE: You can't just run this script directly. But you can test your changes by executing each command in the script manually.
