NAS rescanning: what is happening here?

No, you personally can't do that. They should apply it to the source code (in text) of the Samba library (the server for Windows sharing on the NAS), then build and provide a new packaged version for you to upgrade. However I don't know if that's ever going to happen - I have no experience with Synology's support. What's worse, this is an issue which affects most likely ALL Linux based devices out there, be it NAS or a full blown Linux server, because the bug has been surprisingly fixed only a few weeks ago and no version of the library has been released since yet. That said, I've successfully patched this on my Synology DS-109j. I'd give you the patch too, to test and enjoy it yourself, but it seems your DS410j is unfortunately based on a different hardware and it's not that easy. Oh well, I can try to do that blindly. If you want to be a guinea pig, feel free to say so Just a note: Of course, you would be doing all this at your own risk. I have not tried the patch for your NAS myself because I couldn't. However if you are careful, worst what can happen is you get non-working Windows shares for a while. No loss of data or anything. I can give you a detailed enough guide on how to patch your box, as well as help you to resolve any issues which might occur - but some general understanding of command line would be needed, for example. Tell me if you feel you could be up to this task. Or I might post the instructions regardless and you'll see then.
