RAID is not a replacement for a backup! Here's why.

usbdisk1 visible in web access cause of dlna settings

First of all, I love my Buffalo LS-V2.0 and all the features it offers me. Compared to the other NAS brands I have, this is the only one I managed to easily configure web access without using upnp (I prefer to manually configure my router).

Beside that, I observed a strange behaviour (title of this message) and I'd just like to know that it's the way it is meant to be or if it may be a bug.

1) I've configured web access without problem with the restrictions I wanted (works great);

2) On my internal HD, I have some media files shared:
2.1) via web access (works great);
2.2) accessible via DLNA media server (works great);

3) I have attached a USB HD XFS formatted where:
3.1) I have scheduled backups of my internal HD (works great);
3.2) I have disabled web access (Extensions->WebAccess->USBDISK1->Disabled), configured access restrictions allowing just one user (works great);
3.3) PROBLEM: I've put some media files in this USB HD and wanted them available JUST internally via DLNA media server, so I configured (Extensions->MediaServer->DLNA Server->Show folders on USB drives->Enable).

The side-effect with the 3.3 setting, is that my USB HD (usbdisk1) became visible in webaccess  (as a sub-folder  of my "DLNA public folder"). I've tried all kind of access settings to avoid that, but the only one that worked (hidden in webaccess) was disabling the 3.3 setting.

My question: is, somehow, DLNA settings related with  webaccess settings ? I don't think so, IMHO, it looks like a bug... But if they are, could someone explain why and how are are they tied together, so that I can fine-tune my configuration.

Thank you guys!
Luciano.

Thank you for trying to help me! Usually I install the latest firmware, but as I have not yet written down all the settings I have changed (users, groups, access restrictions, ...) and as I have not yet searched if there's a way to backup just those settings (in case something goes wrong during the update), I was delaying that update. I saw the 1.64 update somewhere, but on Buffalotech.com there's the following message "If you are attaching a USB drive to the LinkStation, then please use the 1.63 firmware" next to the windows download link. If possible, I'd prefer to hear from you first before applying any update. Luciano.

Yesterday I was able to backup (write down) all my configuration and, finally, upgraded to the latest firmware (1.64). After the upgrade, I made sure the usbdisk1 folder wasn't visible and, then, changed the dlna settings to allow show midia from usb disk. After that change, usbdisk1 showed in web access under my main folder. So, the problem is still there. Were you able to reproduce the problem ?
