whats the file system type of the partition ?
hold off on doing any writes to that partition for the moment
Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) (With data protection for 1-drive fault tolerance
If itâs ext3/ext4 partition type you might be able to use one of these utilities
SORRY. Itâs ext4
I donât know how to access terminal on synology
All stop please.
There is no need to get into the Synologyâs command line.
Which problem is attempting to be solved?
Iâm willing to help here but if others want to drive the bus, Iâm fine sitting out.
It does seem like there are multiple issue here which clouds the effort ?

I could really use your help. My movies have disappeared as well as some shows from my NAS. It happened when i accidentally mounted the drive prior to running the chmod command, then terminal started running a whole lot of things and I saw not permitted and stuff in the terminal and I exited the terminal before the command completed as I didnât know what was happening. Then I noticed content seems to have been deleted on my nas.
Thatâs a rather strange comment. He was asking questions about shell commands and I answered. That is the convention in a user forum, no? In the future I should⊠what?
when you are using the terminal session and things arenât going as Iâve written or stated it would work, itâs always best to copy & paste whatâs going on. I can then immediately see where the issue is.
Showing me the prompt before, the prompt with the command and then the failing output, inclusive of the next command line prompt is best.
Sorry, Iâm new to all this. Iâve just lost my movies and some shows and configurations. Probably have to setup everything again
did you lose them -OR- are they simply not visible?
Where are they stored?
If theyâre on the NAS, go into the NASâs file manager and look. Ignore Linux for now.
Go look at truth
I looked on the Nas directly. Theyâre not there.
Iâm not sure if data recovery is possible
No. Itâs gone.
Did you attempt that undelete on the NAS or did you EXPRESSLY tell it to DELETE a share containing your content?
Synology might be able to help but no âpublicly avaialbleâ tool will come close.
I havenât tried anything. I have no idea what to do with undelete and I donât know how to use terminal on synology. I donât know what happened
This is way outside what I can do for you now.
Please continue with the SynoCommunity forum or with Synology directly.
When 
When the mount point was /media/DiskStation it used to automount and appear on the sidebar, is there a way to do this with the new directory?
STOP , PLEASE STOP
I am going to be candid. I do not mean to insult in any way but I feel directness is needed here.
At this moment,
- youâre in over your head,
- donât understand what has happened (IF ANYTHING) to your media.
- Youâre attempting to use Linux, which youâre clearly not skilled enough to use.
- Youâre grabbing at software, recommended by someone else who may or may not have your best interest at heart. This forum is full of âExpertsâ who donât know what theyâre talking about.
I am attempting to help you:
- Find your media on the Synology
- Get it mounted to Linux
To be PERFECTLY CLEAR:
Remove the synocommunity package from the NAS.
Remove anything else youâve installed (I saw a github reference) with exception of nfs-common that I instructed.
Now, Please sign into the Synology diskstation gui via your browser.
Open FileStation and verify your media exists in the shares where it should be.
Yeah Iâm a beginner, but Iâm capable of learning. The nas is mounted and Iâve got media on it, however I have lost a good chunk, but Iâll just have to put it back rather than restore it. SO IâM NOW SIMPLY ASKING IF THERE IS A WAY TO HAVE THE MOUNTED DIRECTORY APPEAR ON THE SIDEBAR AS IT USED TO?
