Hi
i'm not able to use external hard disk formatted to ext4 or xfs however ntfs is working fine. since i dont have any windows machine, didnt see a point in using ntfs.

Im using R7800 with 1.0.2.67.1SF firmware. PFB df command output, its listing only the 32gb pen drive formatted to ntfs but not the other 320gb ext4 external drive connected to usb1. please help

How did you format your ext4? There is note in my README:


1) Example to create ext4 filesystem with label “optware”:

mkfs.ext4 –L optware /dev/sda1

(or mkfs.ext4 –L optware -O ^metadata_csum /dev/sda1
for routers with kernel < 3.6, such as R7500/R7800)

i.e. use mkfs.ext4 with option above for R7800, in red color. It is because of changes in e2fsprogs package.

Voxel.
