Lightroom Missing Volume (External Hard drive has dissapeared)

Hi All,

 

I have been using a NAS for a number of years and have some 60k+ images on there. I only noticed recently (possibly after updating LR) that it has completely dissapeared - it's not even showing as greyed out (offline) it's just completely gone.

 

I have checked security settings on Mac and LR has access to external drives. I have even setup a test folder on the NAS (you will see QNAP - Test on the folders list) so LR and the NAS are communicating. I have even tried loading old catalogs to see if it appears on them but nothing - it's just gone.

 

The only other thing I can think to do is re-import all images and take the hit on the edits but that just sounds horrendous - I'm really hoping someone can help with this 🙂

 

Thanks,

 

Ross

Do you have a catalog backup? That is the way to solve this, not reimporting everything.
