I have had several external hard drives that, from time to time will come up with the name of -1, ie the name of the drive will be "my files" and for some reason it will change to "my-files-1" I have run disk util and drive genius on the drive to see if something will fix the name so it will change back to normal. Another thing I have noticed is it will sometimes also show up as the original "my-files' drive with out the -1. Just wondering if anyone else has see this and if they have an answer as to why. On side issue, sometimes some of the .mpv files I have created will stop working for seemingly no reason. I will create the file and I know it works, them a couple of months later it'll stop working saying it's an invalid file format. This has happened on several different drives internal and external. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
I hook up a *lot* of "Macintosh HDs" to my machine. (Really people, feel free to rename your drive...) Every so often there will be *no* sign of a Macintosh HD in the GUI, but it's there in the terminal in /Volumes.
