[quote="leo"]Fully exit Opus, then restart it again. Does the tree show the correct drives?
If so then the problem could be that the drives do not supply the correct names if Opus starts too early during boot, and do not report that their names have changed when they do become ready, so the tree is caching the drives as unnamed.
I doubt the size of them has anything to do with it directly. Maybe it means they take longer to become ready or there's a bug in the enclosure with how it handles larger drives, but Opus itself does not care at all how large the drives are, especially when just asking the operating system for their names. And Opus is able to get their names sometimes, so the problem must be with the hardware/drivers supplying the wrong names sometimes when Opus asks for them.[/quote]
Yes, but I better qualify that.
The HX4 is started on demand. It's not running all the time.
I might need those HDDs no more than every 2 or 3 days for 30 mins; because, mostly, they are for back-ups.
So, Dopus begins at Windows startup - it is already running when I turn on the HX4.
When HX4 is initally turned on, OPus tree shows the problem in previous screenshots.
Always the same HDDs have the problem; never any variation.
Then
If I exit Opus (completely) and then restart it, then it shows the labels correctly.
Sooo...
- it shows the labels correctly if the HX4 starts up before Opus starts
- It never shows them correctly if Opus starts up first.
That's the behaviour whether or not the Native display of 'Computer' setting is checked or not.
So, I'd guess that Opus ius not "forgetting" because it isn't getting shutdown correctly.
The problem seems to be the info Opus gets about external HDDs when they are started up.
When a new HDD comes online, maybe Opus needs to go back to explorer and get all the details.
Anyway... as said, I suppose I can exit Opus before I start the HX4 (since its rather rare) and hope I don' have several listers open at the time or something...
Ok, thanks for all the help, Leo.
At least I know how to do the workaround (=stop/restart Opus).
