Title: DNS-320 Cannot see volume in Ajaxplorer
Post by: hellohello on February 10, 2011, 04:57:14 AM

Hi,

I have a DNS-320 with two Samsung 2TB drives in RAID-1. When I open Ajaxplorer on the NAS's web applications, I cannot see the volume on the drive. Therefore I cannot access any of my files. The volume name is Volume_1 but I cant see this anywhere in Ajaxplorer. Is there some path I need to type in or something?

Thanks

I could not get it to work either, so I gave up on that.
According to support there is supposed to be some changes to the AjaXplorer in the upcoming firmware. Mayby it will work then.

As far as I've been able to understand, AJaxplorer can only 'see' files that are placed in the AJax folder within Volume_1.

ie. Volume1\Ajax\'place stuff here'

It can't 'see' the entire of volume 1 unless you dropped everything into the ajax folder.

Personally i think its kinda useless and not really sure what application i would use it for? Anyone?

Don't really need to place the physical file(s) in Ajax folder, just need to create symbolic link pointing to the target folder.

Just type the following command:

Code: [Select]

cd /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Ajaxpf/
ln -s /mnt/HD/HD_a2 volume1

This will create a symbolic link called volume1 (can be any name) that link back to Volume_1 (absolute path is /mnt/HD/HD_a2). Next time you launch Ajaxplorer, volume1 will appear as folder and all its content will be accessible.

Hope this help.

@visor66 & TekDes,

In order to have shell access you need to install Fonz Fun-plug. Getting it install is as simple as coping the files over to Volume_1, making some changes and restarting the NAS.
