1900P 380.67 firmware Bug?

[Pir8pete]

Merlin;

I've noticed some errors in the logs with my 1900P after booting and I'm not sure if it normal and to just ignore it or somethings wrong. Here's the output below;

Jul 31 20:00:22 kernel: xhci_hcd 0000:00:0c.0: Failed to enable MSI-X
Jul 31 20:00:22 kernel: xhci_hcd 0000:00:0c.0: failed to allocate MSI entry

Also I noticed that if I have a USB drive plugged in, it shows in the network as a shared PC hard drive even when Samba share is disabled. To get ride of it I need to toggle enable then toggle back to disable then its gone. But if the router gets rebooted it comes back!
I'm using a 4gig USB drive formatted to ext2 for AB-solution only, I had nothing smaller laying around or I'd use that. Be nice to have AB-Solution to just use the jffs and no USB.

I also get this in the logs over time

What does the Health scanner show when you scan the USB drive?

If you unplug the drive do the I/O errors go away?

 

[ColinTaylor]

The MSI messages are normal and can be ignored. The I/O errors are serious and indicate that there is a problem reading or writing /dev/sda. That usually indicates that the drive is corrupted and needs fixing/reformatting.

My thoughts exactly, and so I have reformatted this USB stick many times and the router keeps showing the same thing in the logs? When hooked to my desktop it works just fine no errors.

I will run a scan, and yes the I/O errors are only there when the USB stick is plugged in.

Still doing the same thing, I don't get it. Here is the routers logs from over night;

What happens if you use it on the other port?

 

[Pir8pete]

I will try using a different USB stick in the routers 2.0 port and see what happens. I did notice when formatting using MiniTool Partition Wizard 10 that it would still say un-allocated, but then sometimes show Ext2, but more of the un-allocated business. With the new USB stick I'm not seeing any issues so far like this.


Here's what I get with the new USB stick so far on a fresh install;
I'll check it over the next for days and see if it gives errors.

Also the other issue I asked about that has not been answered yet please. Why does this show up in the networks when I have samba share disabled? only after i toggle enable then back to disable it's then acually disabled and doesn't show up in networks as a shared pc's hard drive folder(s). see screenshots;

By toggling, it does disable but if the usb stick gets pulled out then plugged back in or the router get rebooted it reappears back in the network.


Feature request; Is there away you can add to have say one USB port shared and the other one not, vice versa?
eg. If I use a small USB stick for AB-solutions on the usb port 2.0 and have a shared USB 4tb hard drive on the 3.0 port.

 

[RMerlin]

Could be that your computer browser hasn't refreshed itself, and still thinks the device is on the network.

 

[Pir8pete]

If refresh after doing that disable and re-enable it still show's but can't access it any longer. If I enable the samba then I can view the contents. If I unplug the USB stick it's completely gone. Is there away you can have the router not show it unless it's enabled?

 

[Pir8pete]

I rebooted the router and have a concern.

Here's the output of the bootup logs;

Does everything else look ok?

The router doesn't decide anything there - your network's master browser does.
