Hi

I've been having long-running problems with frequent errors on a 2.5" USB drive (WD My Book 1.5TB I think) connected to my N66U (recent merlin build). I tried switching from FAT32 to EXT3 but it made no difference. I presumed that it was just a faulty drive.

Now I have swapped it out for a small 32GB thumb drive and I am still getting problems - even worse now. I can ssh in and browse the stick, create directories and such, but the logs are showing continuous error (presumably from a transmission server trying to do something periodically). Again I tried FAT32, NTFS and EXT3 (and 4, but that did not mount).

The only thing these to devices have in common is that they support USB3 I think.

Any ideas what this problem might be? A power issue?

Impossible to tell without seeing what actual error message you are getting.
