MinimServer, Synology & External USB Drives

[davidavdavid]

A curious scenario. I have Mimimserver installed on my Synology, and it runs as it should, and I have configured it correctly to scan external USB drives attached to my 420+. Alas, here is the rub:

I have it scanning the first drive: /volumeUSB1/usbshare and then proceeded to extract the properties for the second drive: /volumeUSB2/usbshare, and this is where things run afoul. Your software sends this error message:
"Directory name conflict; correct highlighted value and retry"
The name of drive 1 is usbshare, the name of drive 2 is usbshare2 - different names, however, the properties for each, as you see above, are USB1/usbshare and USB2/usbshare. Synology differentiates USB1 and USB2 but employs "usbshare" for both, and Minimserfver sees them as being the same and will NOT let me scan that 2nd drive.

According to Synology, the folder "usbshare" for external drives hanging off the Synology cannot be changed at the system level. I can rename the drive for my purposes, but if two drives are externally connected, it will see them as:

/volumeUSB1/usbshare
and
/volumeUSB2/usbshare

Minimsever scans the first one without issue, I just want it to scan the second one as well.
