I just install a new AEBS (ac version) and updated it's firmware. In the past I used the old version (n only) with virtually no problems. I have a powered 10 port hub attached to the AEBS. I have 4 USB 2.0 drives attached to the hub. 3 are powered 1 in unpowered. 1 of the powered drives is partitioned into 2 partitions. Each of these partitions is used for Time Machine backups and therefore they contain sparse bundles. The other drives contain standard files of various types. All drives are formatted to OS X extended (journaled) and have had the First Aid in Disk Utility run on them with no problems being found.

When I open the Airport Utility and go to the disks tab, I only see 2 of the 4 drives appear in the Partitions section. Shouldn't all 4 show up? When I powered down the AEBS and restarted it, again 2 of the 4 drives appeared but it was a different set of drives. Can someone tell me if this is normal (wouldn't seem to be to me) or if it isn't, what should I do?

Update: Nevermind. I just noticed that the Partitions window on the Disks tab scrolls showing all of my drives. Got to have the cursor in just the right spot though to get the scroll bar to appear.
