    Hi greysth,

    Does your USB drive have two different partitions?

    Have you tried ejecting the drive, rebooting and connecting it again? If so, do both entries reappear?

    Do both shares contain data or is one empty?

    Have you made a tick at permanent mounting for one of them or both?

    Does your USB drive have two different partitions?
    No, just 1
    Have you tried ejecting the drive, rebooting and connecting it again? If so, do both entries reappear?
    Yes and yes
    Do both shares contain data or is one empty?
    the two shares shown are identical. In between them is a light blue vertical strip with a right arrow and a left arrow.
    Have you made a tick at permanent mounting for one of them or both?
    is „Set fixed Mountpoint to prevent directory switching on reboot:“ what you mean?

    For the last questions, yes, the tick affixes the mount to a certain path.

    If so, remove this tick and reboot.

    I removed it but I still have the drive shown twice.

    Previously, I asked which of the drives has the data on it. Have you been able to find that out yet?
    Do both shares contain data or is one empty?

    Also, have you tried removing the stick physical, rebooting and connecting it again?

    The two drives shown in File Manager are identical. They show the same data and directory structure. There is only 1 drive connected to the rPi.
    This is a Western Digital My Passport 1TB SSD. It functions perfectly in the rPi and on my PC through Sambashare or plugged into usb on the pc.

    I have physically removed the drive and rebooted.
    I have gone to Filesystem Mount and unmounted the drive. rebooted found no drive listed, re-mounted the drive rebooted and find it again duplicated in File Manager.

    Hi gresyth,

    Which version of Max2Play are you using? (Settings/Reboot debug info Kernel and release name „jessie“ or „stretch“)

    Please also make a beta update.

    Hi gresyth,

    Thanks, so it’s not related to an older version. You are up to date.

    I googled the SSD’s specs and it seems to be formatted in exFAT. Usually, we have not had any issues with this format mounting on M2P.

    Does the double entry of the mount result in any errors or issues for your setup?
    Can you access and play any of the music from the mounts?

    From within max2play I can play movie and music from the raw files on the drive.

    I was having an issue of some tv show episodes being duped up to 20+ times and that started after the second drive entry showed up.
    I’ve cleared all my media several times trying to get it sorted out. Now I am at a point that when I add a source it goes through the process but the library still is empty.

    I’ve gotten very frustrated with this and I’m thinking I need to make a new image and start over.

    Solved

    Sorry I didn’t get back to you. I was watching a Youtube video about max2play and found the answer.
    What I’ve been thinking was a glitch is a feature. The right hand drive is for copying files. DOH!

    I tried to submit a screen shot with my original post but couldn’t do that. Do I have to earn the ability to show screenshots?
