"Corbeille" /dev/null on the NAS ?

Postby morpheus » Sun Jan 22, 2012 12:20 pm

Hi there !

I have by mistake deeted files on my DS211.
Is there like on a windows computer a 'corbeille", (/dev/null ?) where all deleted files are going by default, so that I can retrieve them ?

Many Thanks !

/dev/null is equivalent to a black hole on unix like computers. Whatever you write into it disappears. It is normally used as a destination for garbage/unwanted output. For example you do not want to store a log on your disk, you can use /dev/null as log file name or you want to test network transfer speed without including disk access speed, etc.

It is very useful device ... nothing to do with deleted files, I'm afraid.
Proper backup, even double backup is really good thing to maintain.

You are right !
I was referring to the "corbeille" of a windows.
But I understand this is not existing on a syno.

Many thanks,
