0 Marawan Posted September 14 Author Share #5 Posted September 14 I solved this problem by changing the model to DS920+ which uses device tree for drive slot mapping. Now external USB drives are treated as so and not as fixed drives, and they appear as usb_share shared folder. But this model loader has support only for SATA controller, No support for SCSI/HBA controllers which means DSM cannot see drives attached to SCSI/HBA controllers. But that was fine in my case since I use SATA only. Despite this I'm still waiting for a solution to other models using sataportmap/diskidxmap slot mapping like DS3622xs+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Marawan
In DSM 6 when I connect an external USB drive it will be available as usb_share shared folder.
Now in DSM 7 the same external USB drive is shown in HDD/SSD page in Storage Manager as
uninitialized drive AND it allows the drive to be included in a RAID array!!.
The drive has data on it and can be accessed from my own PC.
I want the DSM 6 behaviour, how to do that?
Using ARPL 1.1-beta2a
