Avid won’t recognize Unity Drives
Hey,
I’m on MC 5.5, OSX 10.6.8, working off a Terrablock. So I am setting up another Avid for an editor that will be joining on this week. I installed Avid and I have all the Terrablock drives mounted and can see them in my finder. But when I go into Avid, Avid doesn’t recognize any of the drives. I can manually navigate to my projects drive and open it fine but all my media is offline. I go into Info>Hardware>AvidUnityDrives and nothing is showing up.
I tried to “trick” Avid into hoepfully recognizing the drives by importing some pics off of the Unity. The import worked fine but Avid still doesn’t acknowledge that the drives are mounted. Is there any way I can maunually tell Avid to mount the Unity drives?
Thanks
Will

Type “alldrives” into the Console (CMD-6).

Hi Will,
Is this Single-user Write or Multi-user Write? If Single-user, they should be showing up as local drives, not Unity drives. If Multi-user Write, they will show up as Unity drives if File System Emulation is switched on in User Mode.
If the volumes had been used in Emulation mode, then mounted with Emulation mode off, you may get offline media because the files are not in the standard MXF/1 directory. Let me know if this helps.
