USB Drive Name Keeps Changing - ReadyNas 2100
I bought a bigger USB drive to backup my ReadyNas 2100. I realized that the usb drive name was changing everytime I replugged the drive back into the ReadyNas 2100. It went from usb_hdd_2 to as high as usb_hdd_9. After reviewing the knowledgebase, I look for the usb-map file under etc/frontview/usb but it does not exist. I found a file called storage.conf so I tried it. I removed all lines in that file and replugged my usb drive back into the Readynas 2100. The drive read usb_hdd_1 so I started my backup to the new usb drive. The backup job failed so I tried the backup job again. I removed the usb drive from the admin console and replugged back into the readynas 2100. The name changed to usb_hdd_2. Everytime I plugged the drive into the readynas 2100, the named changed. Is there a different file I should be using?
