You cropped the important part of the script's output: The script version.

The left half of your image shows an older version of the syno_hdd_db script while the readme is up to date for the latest version of the script.

I can tell that you are at least 6 versions behind the latest version.

your right, i thought I ran the autoupdate flag prior to doing this, but apparently not. what happened to the M/m2 flag? Does it not exist anymore?

I originally added the -m flag just in case people were worried that the script might mess up their existing NVMe volumes they had manually created via SSH in DSM 6 or 7.0.

But then I was getting too many questions about what the -m flag was for. I also suspected nobody used it, and did a survey on reddit asking if anyone uses the -m flag and got no replies.

So I removed the -m flag from the readme and help but left it in the script just in case anyone actually does use it.
