Best file format for USB HDD and HOW TO

[webgurru]

Hi All,

I want to know what is the best file format to get USB HDD worked with OPTWARE or ENTWARE? How can do this if I am on Windows 8?

I tried Ubuntu 12 under VMWare. Also tried EaseUS for Widnows 8 with no luck as Ubuntu 12 wont give an option of EXT3. EaseUS format to EXT3 but not readable by router.

Best regards,
Webgurru

Try to format the disk directly from router with this command in terminal:

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
