It's in a hidden folder: /c/.iscsi

Code: Select all
# ls -la /c
# cd /c/.iscsi


Unhiding the share is not supported.

When logged into CIFS as 'admin' (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/share/how_do_i_connect_to_the_readynas_as_admin) you could browse to \\ip.address.of.nas\c\.iscsi

There is no iSCSI initiator on the NAS. To move files between iSCSI targets you would need to mount both targets on the one PC using an iSCSI initiator and transfer the data that way.
