[XR500] External USB 3.0 HDD formated in ext4 does not show up in ReadyShare storage
Hello,
My external HDD (Toshiba) formated in EXT4 does not show up in ReadyShare storage. It works when it is formated in NTFS.

Hi Pixys, I've passed this to a colleague who will escalate your case to hopefully get you the support you need on the matter.
Hello,
Thanks a lot.
I continued to tset and I made an interesting discovery: it works when the usb key / HDD are formatted in EXT3. It does not work in EXT4.
It feels like the module kmod-fs-ext4 is missing in the Linux kernel of DumaOS...
- Great catch, thanks for updating us. The team will find that really helpful when they take a look. Do update your support ticket with that information as well please.
Hello,
Unfortunately the ticket is closed. Also it seems to be related to the OS and not the hadware.
That means I have to wait for the next firmware, hoping I pointed you to the right direction and the fix will be included.
Based on the firmware frequency releases, I feel I might have to wait for a very very very long time... and maybe forever.
Next time, I will check the brands that open sourced their fimrwares in order to be independant of the good will of the provider...
- Are you unable to re-open the ticket? Hopefully it'll be quicker this time around for a new update, let us know when it arrives if it resolves your issue.
