[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.
According to the user manual p. 121, here: https://www.download...
My problem is a pure software issue: the lack of support of ext4 is probably due to a missing option in the kernel settings. Nothing hardware related. I invite you to test yourself. Also it is quite surprising that a router running a Linux based OS is not able to handle the main Linux filesystem.
Moreover, what is not acceptable is the fact that Netgear claims their router supports ext4. I checked the specs before I bought it, you can have a look as well.
About the HybridVPN functionality, it is just a joke that it supports only a couple of VPN providers.
But I've learned my lesson, Netgear, it is over for me (and the people around me as well, of course)

Nothing wrong with your complaint ref. the broken ext4 support as I said before. Christian_R please take care of this issue on all XRnnn routers - ext4 is supported, so it has to be workable.

Sorry, that's nonense. HybridVPN allows to import any provider OpenVPN config with the inline certificates in the HybridVPN Advanced section. FMI http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000087492--dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-hybrid-vpn
- I won't debate about the HybridVPN functionality, this is not something I bought when I chose this router (the functionality did not exist at that time).
That being said I will see again if NordVPN provides config with the inline certificates - They do - just download you account config...
- Good to know, thank you
Hi Pixys - in case you're not aware, Hybrid VPN is compatible with any Open VPN provider, you just need to select the advanced option when setting it up and you then input the Config File.

Yeah Netduma_Jack ... as I wrote some posts above already 8-)
Indeed it works. Nice functionality.
My quick judgement was based on the initiale release that did not support various VPN providers.
schumaku - my bad! Apologies, missed your post when catching up on the thread.
