Cant eject USB HDD. Any new USB comes up twice

Can anyone offer any help? 

 

Bit of a newbie to this so please bear with me.  On my admin webpage I have 3 USB_HDD showing (USB_HDD_1, 4 and 5) but dont have any UISB devices attached.  I can try and eject them but nothing happens.

 

Additional to this, If I do add a USB drive, 2 USB_HDD's appear on the admin page.  

 

Am I doing something obviously wrong?

 

Thanks in advance

What NAS do you have and what firmware is it running?

Hello,

 

Concerning the point where a connected USB device shows up twice: It was reported that a reserved partition of a connected USB drive is shown on the admin page. This should be hidden but seems to be visible since FW 6.4.0. You can confirm this by looking at the filesystems of the two different entries for the same USB drive.

 

Bye,

 

Eskender

Thanks.

 

It also appears that the 2 rogue drives that were displayed (when nothing was attached) have also disappeared after a time and a few reboots.
