I can't get my Samsung NVME drive to function as a volume as the script doesn't run manually, nor can I get it to work with a schedule run as root.

DS1621+ running DSM 7.3.2-86009

These are the files in the folder:

I don't know what you've done but your syno_hdd_db.sh output appears to be from how_to_schedule.md. https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db/blob/main/how_to_schedule.md

syno_hdd_db.sh should be about 96 KB. And those 0 byte files should not exist.

I figured it out right as you responded!

I had extracted directly from the .zip in Windows.
I now tried extracting to a folder first, and then move the files to the Synology, and the script works.
