Hi,

I've been running Rmerlin on my RT-AC68U from day one. A few days back I performed an upgrade to
RT-AC68U_380.66_6 firmware. After the upgrade the external drives started having issues. I have 2 drives (with external power source) connected to my router. One in USB 3.0 port and other in USB 2.0. Both of the drives are USB 3.0 compliant.

Now when I plug them in, the drives won't be recognized. LEDs in the front of the router that indicates a connected drive lights up when a drive is connected. But when I remove the drive, the indicator still shows drive is connected.

I logged into the CLI of the router and df does not show the drive connected. Not sure what's going on or if others have seen this issue.

I also tried upgrading to the latest build RT-AC68U_380.67_0 but still no luck. I want to know if others have experienced this issue before I try a rollback.
 
Please ignore. Maybe just a coincidence, but looks like my HDD crapped out during the upgrade.
