Cannot connect external Mac HFS+ drive via USB 3.0 to EX7000 extender
I'm trying to connect an HFS+ formatted RAID drive via USB 3.0 to the USB port on my NightHawk EX7000 extender. It doesn't appear to be recognizing it. It's not sharing it over the network, and in fact it's reporting "no disk" on the extender settings page, under USB Port. The user manual says that HFS+ drives are supported. I called support but I can't get them to even understand what I'm trying to do. Are they indeed supported?

Re: Cannot connect external Mac HFS+ drive via USB 3.0 to EX7000 extender
As an addendum, I had to power-cycle the extender, and now it's broadcasting the drive. I can connect to it on my iMac through smb://sharename. But it's only showing a USB_Storage partition which looks like the EFI partition (about 200 MB) that the Mac automatically creates. I can't see the main data partition. Is the extender not smart enough to find it?
