Xepnewbie2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2018 Has anyone develop a script to simulate the "reset button" functionality ? I ran into some issues last night after the parity checked finished and was not able to login back into it. After many tries and several recommendations online I decided to start from scratch again.....there was no data in the drives yet as I was still testing....but I wonder if a "reset button" script would have been helpful...thanks in advance!!!

Polanskiman Posted March 18, 2018 Share #2 Posted March 18, 2018 Reset button=reinstall. Simply reinstalling DSM will have the same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought "reset" would let you keep the media/files untouched. a re-install will wipe the drive clean. Am I correct, similar to factory reset. I would also appreciate there can be a true "reset" button. Edited March 18, 2018 by tigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. tigs...... good point.... then probably a good idea to have one Reinstalling does not wipe any personal files. It never has. It only reinstalls DSM on the system partition. It can even give you the option of keep configuration settings. Your data is on a separate partition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
