Overview now shows USB HDD system VFAT partition after 6.4.0 update
Very minor problem, but since the update to 6.4.0 from 6.2.4, my ReadyNAS 312 is showing two partitions for the external USB HDD. The new partition is a system reserved partition otherwise only viewable in disk management in windows.
This first caused the minor problem of changing the number for the USB drive I back up to. I have since changed the backup desitionations to the new number. The problem now is a simple matter of confusion for operators. When ejecting the usb disk to take home at night there are now two drives... so they do both just in case. This seems like a small waste of time and adds unecessary confusion since I don't have any use for seeing the system partition in the first place. Is there any way I can hide it?

The system partition on the disk was previously hidden on plug, so kind of interesting to see it show back up. I can see about filing a bug for this tomorrow. Do you mind private messaging me a copy of your logs so I can get more details about that disk?
Thank you, sent a PM.
