Issues Mounting USB drives on RN516 with 6.2.0, 6.2.1, 6.2.2
I've been having intermittent problems with backups to my external USB drives failing because the drives are 'read-only.' A reboot usually solves that but lately it's been getting worse. I upgraded to...
I ran into the read only issue as well some time ago. I have a 3rd method for backuping up al data and config to a USB drive (USB 3.0 SSD 1TB). I noticed that the ready only issue occured if I physically disconnected the drive from USB from the ReadyNAS or from a Windows Machine with first "ejecting/disconnecting/unmounting" the drive from the ReadyNas or Windows first. So I instead have the follow method for USB drives.
1. Connect drive
2. Setup backups to trigger on backup button
3. Setup Backup Order.
4. Last backup turn on the disconnect drive upon completion option.
5. Press Backup button
6. Wait for email that drive has been disconnected.
7. Repeat
If connecting to a windows machine make sure to "eject" the drive before physically removing it.
Hope this helps. P.S. You're not the only one I've come across a few forum topics similar to this.
