The new firmware seems to have fixed all the issues I had with using USB Hard Drives.  I did notice that now when mapping a network drive in windows I use \\almondplus\BackupDrive.  Before this update I had to map it with \\almondplus\usb\share\BackupDrive

Strange, when I had r069cb installed, going to \\almondplus yielded zero visible folders at all with SMB enabled.

I use to be able to have access to the USB drive. Since the latest 69cb update, I cannot find the drive anymore. The host is visible but can't connect to it to display the USB drive.

What drives are you guys using?
I haven't had any problems with R069cb, so not sure what's going on.

Using a 128GB USB thumb stick by PNY. Maybe I have to reformat it?

Right now, we only support FAT32, NTFS, EXT3 and maybe EXT4, not sure on the last one.

I have an NTFS enclosure in hardware RAID 5 config.  Still humming along on r069 with it just fine.

Same issue still persists in R070.  Samba share shows up under \\almondplus in r069, upgrade to r070 and \\almondplus is completely blank on windows 7.  Is there anything that can be done with regards to this? Will have to stay at r069 forever or lose my media storage..

We've changed the way that we handle drives, they're now auto mounted and dismounted and it seems like a small bug sneaked in.
As such, you need to give the drive a volume label and it's then mounted as \\ALMONDPLUS\[volume label]
It's a fairly simple fix, since it doesn't require a drive to be reformatted or anything, simply right click on the drive in Windows (not sure in other operating systems) select properties, enter a name in the text box an click ok and you've created a volume label for it.

Re-plugged it into my laptop and added a volume label, plugged it back into the almond and re-mapped my network drives to the new mount location. All looks good now! Thanks, Lars

Upon upgrading to R072, I lost my ext3 USB HDD mount point, and now have EFI and EFI_2 mounts. I cannot access via SMB on Mac OS 10.8.5 or Win7.

And if you unplug it and plug it back in?
That's really odd though. The next firmware will come with an updated version of Samba that will hopefully solve a lot of the issues.
