I have a backup job running every night. The backup backs data from ReadyNAS' internal storage to a attached eSATA storage and upon the finish of the job it auto eject the eSATA storage. Next day, I connect another eSATA storage and ReadyNAS would recognize the device automatically. My issue is the auto recognizing works for a few days and then it stop working and I have to restart the ReadyNAS to get it working. When the auto recognizing quit working, it won't recognize newly attached USB storage.
I am wondering if there is a way to fix the issue without have to restart ReadyNAS device? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I have the exact same issue on my RN204, snd I havre to disconnect and then reconnect maybe 3 or 4 times, until the sees the USB3 drive.
I don't want to install beta software, so I am thinking about just doing a reboot everyday until the issue is fixed.

Hi lundmilo,
Yes that would be the alternative for you concern if you do not want to use the beta firmware.
