Thank you. This works perfectly !!!

My apologies. I thought that was to indicate what version I was using. Looks like the mods have fixed it.

RT-AC3100, Merlin 386.5 Using this in conjunction with an existing google wifi mesh system. The Asus runs in AP mode because the google wifi has to be router in order for its mesh functions to work. I'm using the Asus as local smb server (working) and I hope to use it as WAN FTP server, too...

I narrowed it down to 3 problem files then decided they could go. I don't think it's a matter of hitting some limits pertaining to # of files or total sizes, b/c I've added more files since. Maybe there were errors in those files this particular ntfs driver is less robust in handling.

@ColinTaylor yes I may go that route with a different drive. Or maybe get a rasp pi. Would it have the same issues with ntfs since it's linux too?

ntfs. i have chkdsk /f and windows found no error. It seems to come down to a few problematic files and error went away when I deleted them. I don't know what makes those files problematic, however

thank you. my drive has 2 strikes against it: it is 5tb and usb powered. it's a small portable drive. i have modest need that I thought I could get away with using a router. I had a AC tp-link router that worked fine for this purpose, but I wanted something meshable and heard good things about...

Could you (or someone) explain how to do this to a Windows user? I'm sufficiently tech savvy but not *nix savvy and couldn't follow the discussion above. I'm having the same problem as OP but OP's solution doesn't work for me, so I want to try installing the ntfs-3g driver (AC3100, 5TB drive)

sorry, forgot to mention my error log looks like yours, a bunch of Feb 1 23:44:55 kernel: __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=4555870144, b_blocknr=260902848 Feb 1 23:44:55 kernel: b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512 Feb 1 23:44:55 kernel: device blocksize: 512 Feb 1 23:44:55 kernel...

hello, I'm running RT-AC3100 with merlin 386.4 (I tried asus firmware, too). I have an ntfs formatted 5TB WD easystore connected (tried both USB 3 and 2 ports). When I browse (from a windows or android client) a particular smb share folder with ~100 folders inside the listing hangs and never...

additional info: in log I see a whole lot of Feb 1 21:32:41 kernel: __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=4555870144, b_blocknr=260902848 Feb 1 21:32:41 kernel: b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512 Feb 1 21:32:41 kernel: device blocksize: 512 Feb 1 21:32:41 kernel: __find_get_block_slow()...

just bought a RT-AC3100, updated to latest asus firmware. I have a 5tb WD portable drive attached to USB and smb share enabled, guest log in allowed. Share is working, I can read/write root folder from Windows or android client. But when I try to open a folder with about 100 folders inside it...
