Unable to mount/format USB Drive

Although it sees that there is a USB connected drive in the Share List view it doesn't:

Shares on USB Storage Devices

No USB shares exist. Plug in a USB storage device and click Refresh to display a USB share.

Hi cmajewsk,


Could you try your USB drive again and then send me the logs please. Thanks.

If you are unsure how to send all logs here is a link that will help. Also if you could place Attention: Han in the message heading.

When you say, "try your USB drive again" what exacly do you want me to? Unplug it, and replug it in, reboot the RN after that, then try and format? Any specific steps you want me to follow?

Thanks,

cmajewsk

Try and format your USB dive again like you were trying earlier. Umount and mount the USB drive. I basically wanted you to repeat what you have been having problems with then send all the logs right after. Thanks.

Ok logs sent via the ReadNas and from myway.com email account. Thanks!

Any ideas? I sent my logs last week...

Let me know if you did not get them.

I am having the SAME exact problem as cmajewsk.

Ready NAS 600
Firmware: RAIDiator™ v3.00c1-p2

I changed the name of my USB drive. Since that time, I see it in Front View, under Volumes/USB Storage. It states the following USB device is connected. Light is green. My dropdown choices are Locate, Format FAT32, Format EXT3. None of these options work when GO is clicked.

On the shares list page, I see the following:

No USB shares exist. Plug in a USB storage device and click Refresh to display a USB share.


I have tried unplugging and replugging in the USB drive. Nothing seems to work.

I so not see a solution above so I will send my logs!

Thanks,
Bob

I was kinda hoping someone else would have this issue...sorry...

I am using a Western Digital 200GB SE Drive and an Vantec Nexstar 3 USB as it's listed in their compatibility chart. I have been using this for over a year now, and had no issues until I upgraded the RAIDiator image to version 3 and renamed the drive.

I have been working with Infrant and thus far no solution. I have plugged in a USB flash drive to the ReadyNAS USB port(s) and it works fine. I have plugged the Vantce drive enclosure into a few different PC's and it also mounts and works fine. They had me format the drive :( which I did and still the same thing happens. I have sent the logs multiple times, most recently when I inserted the Vantec to the ReadyNAS.

Anyone else seeing this?

cmajewsk,

Can you try formating your USB drive using the following,

Let me know if this helps. If you have any questions let me know.

Sure not a problem, I'll try that tonight. BTW, just confirming that you know it's a standard EIDE drive in a USB enclosure.

Many thanks,
