The only way I can gain access to the shares is to use the following. I created a new share called 'fred' and deleted the other shares:

mount.cifs   //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fred   /home/nas_share   -o user=user_name password=pass

Of course, umount.cifs is no longer in Debian, but umount -f works to unmount the share.

I cannot get rsync to work. According to the man page the following should return a list of shares:

rsync rsync://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/

Nothing is returned (eg a blank line). I tried telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 873 and I got the rsync response @RSYNCD: 30.0, so the daemon is running, I suppose.

The following all return 'unknown module' regardless of what name I put after the url (array1_fred, , array0_fred array2_fred)

rsync some_file rsync://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/array1_fred/

or a '/' instead of a '_' returns the same error for module array1, array2, array0. I also tried Array[0,1,2] with the same result. Some of the web pages show the name as Array 1, so I tried the capital A and a space, but still not luck.

When I ftp into the box, the path to fred is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/array1/fred.

I tried restarting the Linkstation, and no change.

I also tried the alternative rsync format, rsync some_file xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::array1_fred, and that did not work.

Any more ideas on how to get rsync to work?

Thanks!

Dash and underscore are fine.
The only way to "reset" the name using the standard web interface is to delete the share and re-create it with the new name.
