Hi theluke79,

 

Does this happen if you will connect the said external USB storage to another USB port? Perhaps test it with another USB storage to further isolate this problem.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

 

Kind regards,

Hello folks, on the RN102 only the Antivirus and BitTorrent are running, nothing else.

 

The 3TB USB is on a Linux partition, the FS used is UFSD. The disk health check  SMART is succesful.

 

I changed the USB port and rebotted, it seems to be solved now, I will keep you posted.

 

Tell me please if there are other test to do

    Hi theluke79,

     

    Thanks for the positive feedback. If the issue persists, I suggest that you try to load the latest RC Firmware.
