I installed R067 prior to it being pulled and since then, every time I reboot the Almond+ the name of the mountpoint for my USB drive is incremented by _1. It was originally /mnt/usb/BackupDrive. After a reboot it would change to /mnt/usb/BackupDrive_1, then after another reboot it would be /mnt/usb/BackupDrive_2 and so on. Shortly after I discovered this, R069 was released. I installed this and I was back to /mnt/usb/BackupDrive. All fixed... until I rebooted... the behavior has persisted. Has anyone else had this happen to them, and is there anyway to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Not something I've seen, but I'll test it and get back to you. I've also informed our software team about this issue.
Also, what drive are you using?
-
I can confirm this issue. Sometimes it doubles even the subfolders.
I use two different kind of disks, both are USB3.0:
- WD Essential 3TB
- Icy Box case with 4TB WD red
Doesn't seem to depend on the manufacturer.
I have SAMBA activated and also tried a USB3.0 hub once.
Is there a quick fix (script) to clean the entries?
-
It is a Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1TB USB 2.0
I don't know if this is related or not, but it has always showed up as having no free space. It lets me write to it fine, but shows full on Windows 8.1.
-
That it shows up as full is a bug that we need to fix, but haven't gotten around to yet, you can still write to it just fine from Windows.
The other issue is a new bug though that I haven't' seen before, but it's been reported to the software team.

This is happening to me with R069 and Windows 7. The drive is a Seagate 1TB USB expansion drive. When I try to delete the extra folders, which are empty, I get the message that I am not authorized to do so.
Any fix imminent?

Next release.

Thanks.

I seem to be able to access my SMB shares on my usb hard drive after upgrading to r069cb. I have the FTP off by default, but if I enable it I can successfully see the drive from there. I'm not seeing anything at all showing up on the network area for \\almondplus or my ip, and my mount is staying inaccessible. I also see the mount under mount points as /mnt/usb1_2 as it was before.
Also, if I try to toggle the servers, it appears to just mess up my access to the internet until I reset the router.
Any ideas?
-
Huh? You can access them, but then you can't? I'm sorry, but your question/explanation makes very little sense.
-
I'm sorry, I meant to say "unable to access my SMB shares" on the previous post. The SMB share does not appear. The USB drive is visible on the mount points screen and is accessible via FTP, but absolutely no folders appear when I have SMB enabled in r069cb
-
You have to mount the folders in Windows, they won't just automatically appear. I've had no problems doing this, but I'm afraid I don't have time to write instructions right now, as I'm at CES.
-
I understand, and this is more about the specific beta firmware that was posted. On r069 I have access to my samba share and I do in fact have it mounted on my windows machines. As soon as I upgrade to r069cb the share is no longer visible. Once I reverted back to r069 it appeared again.
I was also just seeing if anyone else was seeing similar concerns, and letting you guys know what I was seeing.
-
That's odd, I'll have to try once I'm back in Taiwan and see, as I haven't explicitly tested it on this firmware, but it was fine on a slightly earlier build.

I have same issue, which I just posted elsewhere.

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.
-
It's so frustrating. Two years the same issue. Still no reliable HDD support.
