USB not visible in shares
Hallo All,
At my readyNas Duo i have connected an USB device for backup. I switch the USB device every day (rotating 3 USB devices). Now i have a problem that the connected USB device is not shown at the USB Volume in the admin view.
When i look at the USB devices at the USB storage part. Everytime the same USB device name is given (USB_HDD_5) even if no USB drive is connected it shows this value. This don't look good to me. No USB shares are shown anyway. It says: "No USB shares exist. Plug in a USB storage device and click Refresh to display a USB share." But the USB device is connected to the front of the NAS. If i connect the USB device to the back of the NAS nothing changes.
I have reboot the NAS but it won't help.
What can i do to fix this problem? The NAS must show the right USB device and share.
