I think the title says it all. Using an RAX45 (AX4300). I'm trying to share a USB 3 WD My Passport Ultra 2 TB drive formatted in HFS+, which should be supported. It is powered by USB and this thing worked just fine with a Synology RT2600. It sounds like it's spinning up and the USB 3 light turns on on the front of the router when connected but doesn't appear in ReadySHARE when I log into the router. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

This was directed at antinode FYI. Get a life, pal. Stop trolling people on help forums.

Additional detail - apparently it IS seeing the drive, but it's only seeing it as a 200 MB drive where it's really 2 TB.

Sorted out the router is seeing the EFI partition, but not the HFS partition. Anyone have any idea how to address this? Extremely frustrating.

Deleted the EFI partition, now it doesn't see the drive at all.Is the claimed HFS+ compatibility pure bs?
