I’ve been reorganising storage on my Netgear ReadyNAS. I originally set up a ‘HomeAssistant’ share and connected it as Network Storage / NFS and everything was fine. After getting a couple of mount errors I have eventually got the HA mounts to connect. Backup works fine but a share folder to store blink videos is behaving oddly.
On HAOS I see this via ssh/port 22222:
/mnt/data/supervisor/mounts/ReadyNAS $ ls -al
total 3
drwxrwxrwx 1 98 98 58 Nov 2 22:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 2 19:21 ..
drwxrwxrwx 1 98 98 0 Nov 2 22:58 backup
drwxrwxrwx 1 98 98 0 Nov 2 22:33 blink
/mnt/data/supervisor/mounts/ReadyNAS $ cd blink
/mnt/data/supervisor/mounts/ReadyNAS/blink $ ls -al
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 98 98 0 Nov 2 22:33 .
drwxrwxrwx 1 98 98 58 Nov 2 22:58 .
So that’s the working backup folder and an empty blink folder (created on the NAS).
But if I navigate to the /share folder in the HA terminal I get this:
➜ /share ls -al
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 2 23:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Nov 2 23:06 ..

So my automation to save a snapshot every 5 minutes is working and writing them to /share/ReadyNAS/blink… but this location isn’t the NAS because that’s still empty. Where exactly are these files going?
