USB Storage share names changes all the time

Hi,

 

I have a 4TB disk with three partitions attached to my R7000 (latest firmware V1.0.4.30_1.1.67). Very often the share names get mixed up, sometimes two partitons have the same share name. I have not figured out what the exact pattern of this behaviour is. Rebooting did not help. This is very annoying and I can't get OSX Time Machine to reliably use always the correct partition. Any ideas?

    Please do a factory reset on the router. Since you have loaded a new firmware it is advisable to do a factory reset and reconfigure it.

  • Anybody else noticed that or am I the only one ? Is this maybe a known issue ?

      Hi Wolfgang_

       

      I would like to ask if it has the same issue on the previous firmware prior to updating it to the latest one?

        Hi JamesGL,

         

        I do not think that was an issue in the previous firmware version. I was hoping I can avoid switching back to the previous version.
