Device Names for USB Storage
Hi, I've noticed under OS6 on my 526X that each time I connect a USB disk the device name increments. First time it's /dev/sdf then /dev/sdg and then /dev/sdh and so on... Is this normal / expect...

Hello steveoelliott,
I checked your profile and it appears this RN526X you have is entitled to free tech support via phone until 26th of January. It is best if you contact support to get assistance from higher tier as this error message will be determined by them.
Regards,

To be honest, I was keen to see what other users see in this scenario. I can raise a case if needs be but ultimately I am not seeing any adverse behaviour.
It's something very easy to try or folks may see themselves in logs. Particularly the point regarding device sde, sdf, sdg etc

I found this associated log entry also...
umount2(/run/nfs4/media/USB_HDD_1) failed2, errno=22
Any idea what this means? This would be at the time of the disconnect from the interface.
