The Name is reserved! ReadyNAS 104
Morning all,
I've been using my NAS 104 for the last 5+ years maybe more with no problems however recently I've upgraded my hard drives to a larger capacity , copied all my data across with no problems , however I did initially have a WD USB portable 6TB drive attached where my backup would save to which was called USB_HDD_1 now I disconnected this drive ran a chkdsk via Windows computer, reformatted the hard drive to back up from a fresh start however when I reconnected this portable drive back to the NAS it renamed the drive to USB_HDD_2 and no matter what I try and do it will not rename back to USB_HDD_1 why is this? and is there anyway I can get around this? I've even tried to rename it to USB_HDD_23 but the system still wont have this, I can't even blank the drive label anymore if I remove whatever I had put in place the drive always goes back to the previous label, is this a bug?
I'm running the latest firmware of 6.10.7
Thanks
Edward
Morning,
Thank you for your reply, however I have managed to sort this configuration now, I SSH to the NAS and deleted the USB entries within the usb_mount configuration file once this was done I saved the file and reconnected the external USB drive once again and now it been recognised as USB_HDD_1.
Regards
Edward

Welcome to the Community!
Have you disconnected the drive properly?unmounting first before disconnecting?Are you using any kind of hub?
