Server Version#: 1.13.3
When the power goes out the mac switches Volume_A2 to Volume_B2. The solution is to either unplug the drive from the router and replug in or if remote, reboot the router.
This last time, it looks fine. The Mac (Sierra) mounts the drive as Volume_A2 but when i look through Plex Libraries it only sees it as Volume_A2-3.
How do i get PMS to see it correctly?
I’ve powercycled the router, the mac and just PMS. It keeps adding the -3
If you open up terminal.app and type in ls /volumes and enter does the volume name show up correctly there?
Hi, thanks for the response.
So, it shows all of them, _A2, _A2-1, _A2-2 and _A2-3.
Disk Utility does not have a view option for me to see the Volumes there. 
I can access a Files/Folders remotely and it also sees 4 Volumes which are just one volume.
So it is my mac and not PMS. How can I clear the Volumes so it goes back to just A2?
I have not had to do this in a long while but if I recall you need to all apps like the server that would have access to that volume in their settings. ( same goes for apps like sonarr or sabnzb etc and don’t let them launch on start up)
If they are external USB or network drives physically unmount/disconnect them
restart computer
you might need to unmount in terminal but it has been so long I don’t want to tell you bad commands to do that.
if you google “MacOS ghost volumes” you’ll probably find solutions such as terminal - How to get rid of phantom directories /Volumes on a Mac? - Ask Different
Ah thank you. I needed the right terminology. Phantom volumes (ghost is what i searched and got them). Answer is here for future reference. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3046184
