Problem with Ready NAS Pro

one suggestion on this: It might be a good idea for a future release if the MinimServer ReadyNAS package would be placing the "data" directory into a separate share on the /c/ drive of the NAS which could be accessed directly through Finder or Windows explorer. (that could then also hold the log, which is currently saved into the backup share).

The Twonky-addon for example creates a twonkymedia share where the library cache, trees etc are placed.

Again, nothing too desperate, just would make it easier accessing those files if and when its needed...

I agree that it would be useful to make these files more accessible for people without the "Enable Root SSH Access" add-on installed. This could be via a separate MinimServer share, but I'd prefer to avoid the need for this if possible.

The minimserver.log file is written to the backup share because everyone should be able to access this easily. For other relevant files, I could do something similar to the 0.70 QNAP package: when MinimServer is disabled, a snapshot of the relevant files could be written to a file minimserver-diag.tar.gz on the backup share.

The QNAP version of this doesn't put .mcache files in minimserver-diag.tar.gz. Including these could cause problems with the minimserver-diag.tar.gz file becoming too large in the normal case when the .mache files aren't needed. I'll need to think some more about the best way to handle this.
