Title: How do I get rid of the BT share?
Post by: vannjamahn on May 29, 2008, 06:47:46 PM

I clicked to BitTorrent button the easy search utility and it created this BT share. I tried it, didn't like it all that much and hit the BitTorrent button again to presumably turn it off.

Well, it didn't turn it off, instead it appears to have deleted all of my previous shares and now I just have 2 shares. VOLUME_1 and BT, but I can't edit or delete the BT share.

I had about 8 or 9 different shares before, is there any way to get them back?

And, how do I get rid of the BT share?

I have a similar question.  I clicked the BitTorrent as well to see what would happen, and well I didn't expect it to do what it did :)  I don't plan on using BitTorrent so I would like to turn it off, it something is now running on the NAS box to support it.

There is no option to remove BT once installed. You could format the drives if you really need to get rid of BT. Is there a reason you would want to remove it you could simply not use the BT option?

Sure, I don't have to use it, but now there are processes running on the box that I don't need.

 1688 root     ./btdog ./bt --daemon-loop
 1689 root     ./bt --daemon-loop
 1692 root     -sh
 1693 root     ./bt --daemon-loop
 1694 root     ./bt --daemon-loop
 1695 root     ./bt --daemon-loop
 1696 root     ./bt --daemon-loop
 1711 root     ./bt --daemon-loop

Not a big deal.  Removing the NAS_prog/BT directory and rebooting the DNS-323 solves the problem.  Anyway, you developers might want to consider giving users the option of undoing something they did :)

I have not confirmed anything, but with BT installed, I was seeing more frequent disk spin-ups even if I was not downloading anything. Removing the BT program directory seems to have helped a lot.
