Hello. How to switch volume number? I had 2TB disk (volume_1) then i add 2nd HDD which i want to farmat. Unfortunately i couldn't because of firmware bug, so i eject my 1st HDD and successfully format 2nd. After mount 1st hdd again volume number switch to 1. Ive try eject both, then mount 1st disk alone. OK its volume_1 again, but when i add 2nd it switch to volume_2 ???.

The Volume number is linked to the physical ShareCenter bay, not the HDD itself. Any HDD in bay-1 will always present itself as Volume_1, while any HDD in bay-2 will always present itself as Volume_2.

Thank you for fast answer. So all i have to do is move 2TB disk to left bay?
Edit:
I just switch HDDs and it dont solve my problem. 2TB is still volume_2.

Think you would have to re format once you have swapped the bays to change the volume
-
when your nas do its initial drive format it will create four partitions, a 532mb swap partition (if you have two drives it will make one on each but use only one), a 1gb hidden partition where it stores config files about shares and drive informations, then your regular data partition then another 1gb hidden partition not mounted during regular use, probably firmware backups or such.
to change how drives are identified you need to edit /dev/HD_a4/.systemfile/hd_volume_info.xml (HD_b4 for drive b)
you cant do it from web interface, you need fun plug installed (and a bit of linux knowledge), probably messing with volume info could break the other config files if they uses the volume id there stored.

Is the HDD install on the correct slot? Trying swapping the drive.
