Remove a "ghost" USB device after migration

Post by Indyone_de »

Hello!

I migrated a RAID1 setup into a new QNAP TS-253D. Everything is fine besides an USB disk that was connected to the old NAS before.

It appears in the new setup (although not attached) as USBDisk1. It is visible in the Shares overview and also in File Station (but cannot be accessed as the device does not exist).

Unfortunately all buttons are greyed out. How can I remove this device from the NAS? Probably using the shell instead of the web interface?

Thanks in advance!

Always remember to switch your UI from German to English before posting in an English forum.

What was the migrated unit model? Hope not CAT1 resulting in a legacy volume

The old unit was a TS-259 Pro+.

Yep, that's a CAT1 unit. :(

so best thing to kill the NAS and start from fresh with a full static volume or storage pool

that (hopefully) should also take care of this device
