   Hi,

I have a LInkstation 160GB. The disk has become 100% full and I can no longer access the drive, nor can I see the shared Folders using the admin site.

Can anyone suggest how I can get access so I can remove some files.

Thanks

Hi,

 

You are able to access admin console of the Linkstation but what do you see in the share folders setup page?

I used to see the 5 foldrs I defined.  However, now no Folders are displayed?

One way I would have done it is to remove the internal harddisk and plug in to my linux system.

 

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR BUFFALO UNIT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BEFORE YOU PROCEED! 

 

The drive will mount and I would be able to see the share folders in one partitions.

 

Write down the share folder names I've created eg, Share,  Accounts, General, Techno but do not copy share folder names which I did not create eg, Mediaserver, Boot, info..

 

Remove harddisk from linux, install back into Buffalo unit and then boot it up.

 

Once fully booted, go into admin console and then to share folders setup.

 

Type in the name of the folders indivudiually.

 

Once all the share folders have been named as the same as what you saw in linux, the data will be back there.

 

Go into the share folders and see if data have appear.

Go to support then downloads on our website.  Then at the bottom click on our "archived site" and select your product.  You will find the firmware there
