RN516 only one external USB drive recognized at a time
Strange problem with a new RN516. Prior to a factory default two external USB drives that were plugged into the rear ports were being recognized properly. After factory default only one drive at a time is recognized. If I unplug the non-recognized drive and plug it back in, it replaces the existing recognized drive and even keeps the same share name. I did backup and restore config settings. I am using OS 6.1.8. Even after a fresh factory default only one drive shows up in Frontview. I see two reconnect messages in the logs and visually I can sometimes see one drive being replaced by another in frontview.
A bit more info.... when I do an fdisk -l I see two different disks and df shows both /dev/sdh1 and /dev/sdg1 mounted on the same mount point /media/USB_HDD_1. Any ideas as to what might going on?

Re: RN516 only one external USB drive recognized at a time
Since I wasn't too far along in my restore process I decided to do another factory default without the USB drives connected and then to connect them one at a time and wait for the drive to be mounted before moving to the next one. That resolved the problem. So lesson learned. Don't do a factory default with peripherals connected to the USB ports.
