add volume2 shortcut in volume1

[GHAZALO]

I've edited the script slightly to work properly as init scripts, not just a simple shell script.

Edited: Note it will run as root at startup hence no need for sudo but you'll need to do one time command(s) to set the mounted target directory's ownership (using chown) and permission (chmod) depending on the apps and users accessing, else normal users can't access it, those depends how you manage your system and data.

i will check tomorrow thanks a lot, as it is late night
yet i need to solve the admin issue
also please folder1 is the shortcut or the directory will be in ?

Use the shares points created, don't use volume points you will not see it in shares only volume paths as the shares are mounted on the /share path.

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir -p /share/Download/V2-Download;

sudo mount --bind /share/V2 /share/Download/V2-Download;

If that works, copy to the script but remove the sudo as the init scripts will run as root. Read that post again as I've edited.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# My first shell script.
# <- This denote comments.
# The first line of this file is called shebang, which is to run this script with the specified executables, in this case sh or shell.

if [ "$1" = "start" ];then
    mkdir -p /share/Download/V2-Download;
    mount --bind /share/V2 /share/Download/V2-Download;
fi

I just need to do the vi stuff, right?

Note this "/share/V2" must already exists in your ADM portal shares list.

I don't understand this question, there's no shortcut file in bind mounts.

The mount command has the same sequence as the ln command, <command> <target-source> <target-name>. E.g. you want to bind mount /share/my-volume2-files in /share/Download/my-volume2-files. Again note "/share/my-volume2-files" is an existing volume2 share you already created in the ADM portal, then you want to mount it to "/share/Download/my-volume2-files" so your apps scan access it from "/share/Download".

vi and `chmod +x /volume1/.@plugins/etc/init.d/custom.sh` to make the script executable.

p.s.: Since you're not very familiar with Linux, you should disable back the admin user after testing and all works as you intended. Asustor now recommends to disable it due to the recent ransomware saga unless of course you know what you're doing and how to protect your network.

hello dear hope u had a great night

following to our discussion i created folder under Download but the folder doesn't reflect the content or not behave accoreding to (volume2/V2) look at the photo the content of the folders different

now 2 things as i give up and this is not what i was looking for
1-how to delete this mounted (from the panel not accepted)
2-how to reverse the admin thing root@xxxx

thanks and i will keep looking for different solutions but not this mounting, the volume2/V2 has data need to bee seeded in transmission or qbittorrent as well as the volume1/Download

thanks again and appreciate all your effort

Probably you didn't do it correctly. You're free now? Let's do a quick remote session I'll show you how to do it easily. We can do this in Google RD or AnyDesk or TeamViewer or anything, you choose just PM me your ID.

To revert, use the `umount /path` command then remove the created directory. Ensure nothing is using the path. Then disable SSH and your admin account.

in fact there is few folders appears in windows i think i created them with ln command

Code: Select all

ln -s /volume1/Download /volume2/V2/ShortCut

how to remove? even windows couldn't delete them

the others (created by sudo) i just restarted the device then from inside the panel deleted normally

thanks man i dropped you message late after and i think you get busy
any way i am going different approach to Jbot all drives
for sorrow such nice machine has a very bad download center other wise the problem is not there at all

You can't delete those links probably its created using root and only writable to root? Then only root can delete them `sudo rm /path/filename`.

Was my movie time, we can do it now, I have a couple of hours before bed time.

[GHAZALO]

i guess you made it

thank you man and really appreciate your efforts

NP enjoy, yesterday I was texting from my mobile phone so I made it simple but now that I'm in front of my workstation, I've edited the earlier posted script sample to reflect your config I see on your NAS.
