We have had some other reports of this.
Which model is this with?
Which firmware did you upgrade from?
Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)
Which brand/model USB disks are you using?
Moved your post. You should only post in the beta section if using beta firmware.

Hi ! Same issue as well. Upgraded from 6.5.1 to 6.6.0.
Actually, the USB external HD is not recognized when I plug it while the NAS is on. But if I turn it off, then plug the HD, then turn it on, it's OK.
I can also reboot the NAS.
So it's only a matter of "hot-plug".
Thanks !

Can anyone give me a fix for this as having to reboot the NAS everytime you swap the USB drive is not a solution.
