How do I mount manually an usb drive on the RN 102

Hello,

 

How do I mount manually an usb drive on the RN102. I have some issues with my usb drive. When connected my usb drive  I can only mount the usb drive when I reboot the rn102.  I want to mount the usb drive on the commandline I login via ssh as root, How can I mount the usb drive manuallu?

 

Sometimes the usb drive is mounted in Read-Only mode, Is there an option in the the RN102 ( login as root) to repair the usb-disk instead of repair on a Windows PC?

    Have you checked the health of the USB disk?

    Are you safely unmounting it before disconnecting it from the NAS?

    Which filesystem is on the USB disk?

      Yes , I have already run chkdsk and repair it with windows 10 , the problem is then solved. The usb drive is  writable via (touch file) the rn102. When de rsync backup failed the usb disk is not visible anymore in RN102 GUI and again read only. The filesystem of the usb drive is NTFS. I don't want to reboot the rn102 everytime. Í was wondering if it's possible to mount the usb drive via the commandline.
