USB device name changed after update to 6.4.0 final

after the update from 6.2.5 the names of the external usb drives changed, so all backup jobs have to be changed. (RN104 , 4 disks WDC WD20EFRX-68EUZN0, ReadyNASOS-6.4.0)

Public ReadyNAS OS 6.x Beta

Hi BrianL,

I had ejected the external drive and disconnected. Then I did a reboot of the nas before doing the update.

After the update I connected the external disk and it was not detected. Then I did a reboot with the external disk connected and it appears with the new name.

I just ejected it again and disconnect it, then did a reboot. Now it is detected with the new changed name after connection again.

I checked it also with a 2. external disk, same result, the name is changed now.

So it's now not a problem for me because I already changed the backup jobs.

Kind regards,

Hi GH,

I have tested it several times and the names haven't changed. How many external USB hard drives are plugged in the NAS?

Kind regards,

Hello BrainL,
I use two external drives for backup, connected is only one at a time for the backup.
Did you do the update from 6.2.5 to 6.4.0 with the drive connected, I did it with removed external drives ?
Kind regards,
GH

    Same story here on the RN104. After updating to 6.4.0 the usb drive went from USB_HDD_2 to USB_HDD_3
    I changed the backupjobs and still no go. Some editing in rsyncd.conf to fix it, but i noticed that rsync on USB_HDD_3 was disabled. Enabling it, and the lines apear in rsyncd.conf and backups are working.
    Remark: My usb drive always stays connected.
