HP n54l esata port coming up as disk 5 in storage manager?

Hi is there a way to remove the esata port from showing as disk 5 under DSM 5.0 disk manager , I've recently added a 5th drive in the cd rom bay using the on board spare sata port but its coming up as drive 6. I figured out that the 5th drive slot is reserved for the external esata port , when I plug in a esata external drive it comes up as disk 5.

the original value in /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf was set to esataportcfg="0xff000" ,which I changed to esataportcfg="0x0" and after the rebooted I did not see any change . Its doing the same think I even plugged in the external esata drive and its coming up as drive five in storage manager. Is there anything else you can think of?

ok thx , is there a way to change this within dsm so that it doesn't reserve the port in disk manager for the external esata port?

Why is matter? It is a pure cosmetic issue and have no performance or functionality penalty.

HP Microserver designers have chosen to use this port numbering, so be it.
