Anyone else having issues with NTFS USB3 External HDD? OS 6.4.2
When running OS6.2.4 everything was running fine, but after the upgrade to OS6.4.2 I can no longer use my NTFS formatted USB3 drive. If I format as FAT32 all looks fine, however as NTFS a 1.5TB driv...
So funny story, I've just fixed this while I was fixing my virtualbox issue.
I *think* the issue was the same caused by busybox-kmod.
So I removed busybox-kmod and installed just kmod. That fixed virtualbox and now I just noticed my USB drive is working but I was still having issues an hour ago.
PS, this is for OS6.5.0 BETA 2. The same fix may work with 6.4.2 but I'm not going to try to roll back to test.
Just upgraded to 6.5.0 BETA 2
Still having the same issue with NTFS for my external USB3 Seagate. Clean format both from PC and NAS... Got me stumped!
I'll make a new post for it but I did discover some bugs with BETA 2.
1. The System fan appear to be spinning up more - Not sure if this is normal or not?
ps, it is a cool night so not heat related.
2. Network bonding appears to be a bit off.
Bonding now only appears to be working on the ETH1 adaptor but with DHCP, and ETH0 now has the static IP from the bonded NIC.
Just about to setup VBox.
