USB drives are loosing configuration after reboot
Hello all, I have two USB drives connected. Once I do configuration of ReadyShare folder path for both of them everything works just fine. But when router reboot or power cycle,then directory path...
- Hi James,
No worry, just figured out! Evolution is unstoppable... DD WRT is on board and drives works as charm!
In any case that upgrade is must have to enjoy that great router we paid for.
Hope thats help to other;)
I've just been notified about this thread. I have a similar problem I am discussing in https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Readyshare-bug-R7000-with-multiple-disks/m-p/1247224#M52269.
Ddwrt may solve this problem but it limits other aspects so in both situations we can't enjoy the great hardware. Fixing this in the native firmware would be greatly appreciated.

mlel you are right, it was working fine in dd-wrt, but on other side I was not able to manage drives to spin down, I tried everything, hdparm, sdparm etc.. and no joy. So currently I am back on stock firmware, and I have solved loosing issue.
Problem was that two identical enclosures had identical USB<>SATA driver signiture, so therefore router was confused every reboot. So one of those USB<>SATA was replaced by another USB enclosure (different maker=driver) and removed USB enclosure was just moved from the router to my linux server, so still on LAN. Finally that is not problem for me, because I have 4 drives as NAS in total, not matter which one is in router and which one is in server.
However conclusion is that that issue was due to two identical USB<>SATA drivers... so using two different drivers will prevent config loosing.
