[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...
I haven't said the XR500 (nor any other Netgear router officiailly) does support exFAT ... just that this is coming up more and more, becoming a standard.
From the fine manual, p.121 ff.
The router supports the following file system types for full read/write access:
• FAT16
• FAT32
• NTFS
• NTFS with compression format enabled
• Ext2
• Ext3
• Ext4
• HFS
• HFS+

On my side, I should have checked that exFat was in the list. So let's focus on the list provided by Netgear and for this thread Ext4
