How to reset USB_HDD_# UID's?

Hello,

there is already a thread from 2006 with his topic but the reply on old topics is disabled.

So, I ask this question again as I found no solution:
How can I delete or remove USB_HDD_# UID's from previously connected USB drives and maybe also USB_FLASH_# UID's ?

Is there a possibility?

Regards,
Bacelo

  • you have to ssh into nas

    then edit the file storage.conf ie delete all contents then save empty file

    storage.conf is in /etc/frontview/usb

    use vi to edit file

    Or create etc/frontview/usb in a folder on your computer and put a blank file called storage.conf in it. Zip the etc folder and then restore it via System > Config Backup in Frontview. Config backups are restored to / so if you follow the above properly it should be extracted to the correct location.
