Error making EXT3 filesystem on the USB device
Like every 6 monthes, I wanted to back up a share on an external drive and followed my usual procedure: plug a USB drive on my NVX, format the drive (EXT3) and launch the job.
Surprisingly, the NVX refused to format the drive, here is what I got in the system.log:
As you can see, it was possible to format the drive with FAT32, but not with EXT3. The NVX runs latest radiator: 4.2.24
I tried at home with my Ultra2+ (raidator 4.2.23), and I could format the drive in EXT3 (and the NVX is now doing the backup job).
Last time I tried, and succeded, to format the USB drive on the NVX, it was still running raidator 4.2.22
Is it a known issue (I couldn't find anything on the forum!)?

- Yes, I must have installed that a while ago
- :evil: OK - So I get connected to the readynas and get the root login but it tells me the password is wrong, I have even change the admin pass in the NVX so its definite the right one. But there is no sign coming in the space when I am typing the password but that is how it should be ?
- Let me try my one
- The root and admin passwords are separate. So if you changed the admin password after installing EnableRootSSH the root password would still be your old admin password.
Install EnableRootSSH again and your root password should be changed to your admin password. - OK - I can confirm that when you type the password that the cursor does NOT move. This is correct. Also, while I have managed to log in fine, I had to use my previous password, not my latest admin password. Maybe mdgm can advise what password should be used? Possibly the first password you used when you setup the NVX?
- OK folks success - Now I am in, what to do next then ?
Thanks for the inputs ! :D mdgm wrote: The root and admin passwords are separate. So if you changed the admin password after installing EnableRootSSH the root password would still be your old admin password.

Jepp thats perfectly right my friend !- Run the 2 commands
# apt-get update
# apt-get install e2fslibs - Yes I run them one by one, I dont get any information that the commands where a success but I will try the EXT formatting now, I let you know i a minute how it goes !
- Remember that you don't type the # when entering those commands. You should get output.
