XR700 Readyshare is mounting the wrong drive image with 2 drives in use

So tonight I installed a new XR700.

 

All working fine, except I use 2 drives via USB as a NAS. The drives work fine when they are plugged in separately, just using 2 drives at once is giving me issues.

 

Ran FW v1.0.1.38 at first and afterwards installed the Duma OS beta. Both versions encountered the same issue. 

 

When I plug the second drive in, the share name, volume etc all corresponds to the second drive, however the drive size and space used are equal to the first drive and the shares available is just drive 1 twice.

 

Both drives are recognized under the USB tab. It just seems to mount the wrong drive image for some reason.

 

This was previously attached to my XR500 running DumaOS beta .120 without any issues.

 

Any fix or is this a known bug?

    I've not seen anyone have this issue before. Do both drives work as NAS or does it appear to just be an issue with the table view on the storage page showing the wrong information? Do values for each change for example if you do something on USB 2?

      No when I attach both drives then both shares show the data of drive 1, even if drive 1 and 2 are named separately.

       

      Ie it will detect drive 1 as drive 1 and drive 2 as drive 2 by name/volume name. But the data for drive 2 is actually coming off drive 1.

       

      This is what happens after inserting both drives:

       

      NAS 1NAS 2So it does recognize both drives. But look at 'Free Space' it mounts the image on drive 1 as drive 2. So when I go to the NAS from my PC it shows 2 shares that both have the same files, off drive 1.
