Hello, all,
I have photos on external SSds that I plug in through a USB 3.0 hub (atolla). I recently opened LR6.14, intending to rearrange photos on the SSDs but they were not detected and so unavailable. (This is new--they worked.) Searching for help online I hit upon the explanation that OSX might be assigning different letters to the drives, depending on the order in which they are attached. Looking around for a way to assign durable names to drives, I came upon an article on helpx.adobe.com titled "volumes and drives display under / folder." almost all of my photos--nearly 16000 of them--display under "/." Apparently this is a problem. The remedy begins with moving all the images from / to elsewhere, using Finder. That sounds risky--potentially catastrophic. Has anyone worked through this sort of problem and are willing to offer some guidance?
Thanks and best wishes,
Ed
