Lastest Firmware Update - USB Issue

After the firmware update on 5/23. I got the following alert message:

Event title:Unable to create share

Event description:A share could not be created on a USB device (vendor: Western Digital, model: My Book 1140, serial number:XXXX33154343035353XXXX, file system: ntfs, label: , share name: My_Book_1140_3).

Severity:warning

Event code:1122

Actually, this was the second of 2 alerts. This one came after I disconnected and then reconnected the USB drive. I can’t get the USB drive to even show up in the dashboard. Any ideas on how to fix this?

model: My Book 1140 - interesting

I should have known. MyCloud takes hours to do anything (I also have a Synology NAS so sometimes I forget the glacial pace of the MyCloud). After ejecting and then reattaching the USB drive and waiting several hours, things seem to be back to normal. My safepoint isn’t showing yet, but I will give it overnoght to see if that appears.
