D- 10 Posts - DJones...the correct firmware, and if you update Merlin’s firmware in the future remove the usb before the update so no corruption happens. And if the usb is a dud replace it or move to an external ssd. Never use the built in disk check tool made by Asus on the router use the disk check script in amtm.

S- 20 Posts - slytho...use as advanced scripts or services as you probably do. I use 'halt' mostly hoping to unmount drives correctly - yes, I have got an external ssd attached. As said, no problems with invalid data or broken file systems so far. And I once saw an entry in the syslog saying "Emergeny sync" or so...

- 50 Posts - zakdavHi, I've same issue and I've solved changing usb device to a pendrive (256 gb ntfs formatted), but also new generation external ssd (like samsung T7) might be ok (I'm going to make the switch next days). I've solved so for me is enought , but I think that connecting some old usb drive (the...

T- 9 Posts - TonyK132...or Skynet or something else. If I just leave it alone, it works great. Some of that may also be due to my h/w config. I'm using an external SSD rather than a flash stick, and I have dual fans keeping the router cool. One of the scripts I autorun daily is a script to do a backup. It runs...

- 31 Posts - drinkingbirdWhile you can get a portable powered external SSD (many brands have them) they are typically expensive, should be more cost effective to just get an external SATA enclosure and pop in whatever inexpensive drive you can find. Cacheless/DRAMless SATA SSDs are the cheapest and should be plenty for... -
- 93 Posts - L&LD...create a new post on this thread to see if help is readily available for the issue then. Using amtm, the largest swap file possible, an external SSD in a USB enclosure, and many, many scripts over the past few years, I would be shocked if the adequately large swap file, fully updated Entware... -
- 104 Posts - DMcD-EMS-USMC...without a hitch. I previously had a GT-AXE11000 with beta and release ASUS Merlin firmware and had no issues with installing the same external SSD using Time Machine. I understand the USB API's are not touched by Merlin so I am at a loss why the beta's for the GT-AXE16000 do not work with... -

Actual external SSD drives tend to last longer. Look for TBW (Terrabytes Written) - higher is better. Disclosure - I work for a company that manufactures various...

- 34 Posts - pirx73...Basically - whatever you like. Of course you can buy pre-made external SSD: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=external+ssd&crid=D9TFNFY2FHXP&sprefix=external+ssd,aps,173&ref=nb_sb_noss But i think they are quite large in capacity and thus not very cheap. Unless you need 1TB SSD for the router. Small...

A- 10 Posts - ahabBoth ports are USB 3.0 on the RT-AX86U, so, yes. I'm using what are apparently crappy old thumb drives however, which could certainly account for the unreliability. I do have UHS micro SD cards here, it may be worth trying one of those in the interim while I pull together an external SSD.

L- 27 Posts - learning_curveFWIW - We only use Mac Devices (MacOS c/w the latest 12.2 Monterey OS release). Apart from having to remove the External SSD Disks that we use for Time Machine images & then re-add them (once, all within MacOS / preferences / Time Machine ) so as to re-enable their functionality, we've not had...

S- 733 Posts - Sneakytiki...anything before I do a complete hard factory reset on both routers and wipe the usb drive and start over again. Guess its time to get an external SSD. I was going to partition one and set up a small partition for the AX88U and a large partition for apple devices to use as a timemachine...

X- 48 Posts - xtvI've just rebuilt (due to an SD card failure) the test RPi4 with a low cost SSD and the throughout is amazing, however I'm still sceptical in adopting such a setup for production/stable setup. This may sound strange, but the main reason is that I can't find a good case (at a reasonable price) to...
-
- 48 Posts - Phantomski...works like a charm. There're couple of things that help significantly: - Forget SD cards and USB sticks. rPi4 has USB 3.0 ports, so the external SSD drives are a real viable option now (USB boot is now supported natively) and I would strongly suggest you move to these. I'm running Samsung... -
- 4 Posts - SirThomasHello Chaps, My trusty old 87u has recently decided to corrupt its external SSD and I feel it's time for a wipe/reinstall. There are quite a few guides on here and some seem to suggest a double factory reset, or a reset then re-load of firmware afterwards. Could anyone give me a step order of... -
- 1387 Posts - raion969Other question is there a differenz between usb 2.0 and usw 3.0 with and external ssd, wahat would you recommend and why? -
- 18 Posts - pirx73I just checked out of curiosity - cheapest external SSD 128GB is arround 30€, most likely you can find even cheaper deals. Of course using SSD just for entware and swaps is a bit crazy, i also use it for media server purposes.

M- 4 Posts - mocnakI get this message in logs too, after I connect external SSD disk, Samsung pssd T7 touch, 1 TB - and it also shows on main screen that it is unmounted. "fdisk -l" command shows that it is HPFS/NTFS system. router: ASUS RT-AC86U, Firmware Version 384.19 did I hit some limitation of firmware ?

- 14 Posts - L&LD...for the responses that may come from my statement here!). To make your IPS connection as bombproof as possible; consider using a UGreen external SSD enclosure (easily found in a search here on this site) with an SSD to prevent issues from USB drive failures. In the same vein, you may want...

- 9 Posts - L&LDThe ones worth considering are the Elite series (Patriot), 128GB and above. I'm using the 512GB version which is effectively as fast as a T5 500GB external SSD I used to use.

Now I have changed to an external SSD drive since I had several SATA III drives laying around from computers that have been retired but the drives were still like new. This is the USB... -
- 775 Posts - MutzliJust wanted to let you know, above problem was caused by a cheap USB cable connecting my external SSD drive and had nothing to do with the new firmware. Interference from the router caused the USB connection to malfunction. A new and decent quality cable solved the disconnect issues,

S- 3 Posts - StefanoN...384.19. Even with previous versions, I often find these two messages: networkmap: Error unlocking 9: 9 Bad file descriptor networkmap: Error unlocking 0: 9 Bad file descriptor I have already replaced my external ssd connected in usb3, but the message remains. How can I solve? Thanks Stefano

- 11 Posts - Decado...access, a red WAN light and no wifi connectivity what so ever. I did a full reload from scratch with 384.18 including reformatting the external SSD just to see how that goes. I'm currently at about 25 hours of up time and so far so good. This time I have also installed scmerlin so I can ssh... -

- 6 Posts - bbungeSince you are planning to use a SSD, it will be OK for the swap. Better yet, spend the bucks for a NAS. A year ago I invested in a Synology NAS and have not regretted the cost. -
H- 6 Posts - Huberer...that's why I will install Merlin-FW on it. I don't care about USB3/2.4GHz interference because I only use 5GHz. 2.4GHz is turned off back home. For me it's important what is better for the swap file/entware. To use it on a thumb drive (on the usb2 port) or on a one partition on the external ssd?

- 107 Posts - MakaveliI decided to go this route but with a cheaper enclosure. Question that I have when formatting the drive for Linux with the thumb drives I generally did Ext 2. however since i'm going to be storing the scripts to an external SSD now should I stick to Ext 2 or go for a higher version? -

The main point of this thread was to solve the problem of gracefully unmounting any attached storage devices -... -
- 3345 Posts - heysoundude...off a 8GB USB2.0 thumb drive for quite some time. The last time I walked into the computer shop, they had 120GB USB3.0 external SSDs on sale for a very good price, so I traded some of my money for one of them (I probably shouldve bought 2 at the price and made a small RAID0+1, but...) to put... -
- 53 Posts - Adamm...no buffers are specified. Unfortunately I can't easily test wired speeds due to my setup (I could but its a hassle). Not only that but I assume my mechanical HDD would be the bottleneck, someone with an external SSD would be preferable. I did update the OP with read speeds though for reference. -
K- 56 Posts - Kal1975OK. I've got everything set up now. With the help of other setup instructions and info from others I've set up Entware-ng on an external SSD. I've installed apcupsd and finally configured it properly for my UPS and have also gotten sendmail to work properly with Gmail for sending out event...

- 15 Posts - MRxROBOT...for looking into this for me. usb_usb3 was set at 0, I was successfully able to change it to 1 but it didn't make any difference. The External SSD doesn't mount and just locks me out of the router. As soon as I unplug I can access the router again. I pulled my system log, maybe this could... -

V- 19 Posts - voipairSo then I need to modify my idea and what I now want to ask is If we mount a partition on the external ssd hdd plugged into one of the bays of the SYBA CL-ENC5003 while plugged into the usb 3.0 port (install entware here) and put the swap partitionor file on same ssd hdd. Would that give us any...
