What would happen if someone created an `entware` share in either OS3 or OS5? Potential problem? #88

Just a thought. I'm not going to do this on my NAS has al hell may break loose, but in the quest to protect other users from themselves I ask a question . . . .

The actual entware directory is stored in /shares/Volume_1/entware/.

What would happen if someone was to create a network share named entware through WD's dashboard UI?

Is it possible for the OS3 and OS5 installers to name the entware folder as /shares/Volume_1/.entware/? Could an WD entware app update be put together that would perform such a rename and remount /opt from /shares/Volume_1/entware/ to /shares/Volume_1/.entware/.

Should work as nothing should be writing directly to the proposed /shares/Volume_1/.entware/ or /mnt/HD/HD_a2/entware, but only to /opt.

It's about as likely as creating a Nas_Prog share. Nobody stops you from doing it but it's not something I'd bother about.

Good point, but I'm guessing WD would have put something in the dashboard UI to reject Nas_progs as a share name. Still, anyone who wishes to use entware should really know better and not try. :-)
