how do i release usb letters on usb hard drives attached to nas cant add any more drives

Post by jwills70 »

tnas TERRAMASTER T9-423 9-Bay
operating system 5.0.1.67

ok i have a TERRAMASTER D6-320 6 bay usb enclosure
and a TERRAMASTER D5-300C USB3.1 5 bay enclosure

everything was working ok then I needed to change over a hard drive on the t9 nas to fix a degraded pool so before doing anything I switched of the 2 USB enclosers with the 11 USB disks inside and started the rebuilding of the pool

now upon switching the USB enclosures back on it appears 2 are not showing for some reason the letters which start with sd_ then the letter for some reason now start at sd_d then sd_e then jumps to sd_m misses a few more letters then goes up to z

I presume the letters can only go up to z then it hits maximum so it does not matter which 2 drives I pull as soon as it goes straight to z the remaining 2 wont work

so how do I release the letters so I can use my drives again ie sd_e being next instead of jumping like 8 letters and then more after m

I have tried using safe eject and just shutting the enclosures down no matter what its not releasing the letters
