Router Asus AX86U, firmware Merlin 3004.388.8_4
I have a HDD connected to the router via USB port and it was formatted to NTFS.
Today I formatted the drive to EXT4 and now the HDD is constantly active. There is nothing on the HDD it self, I even performed factory reset of the router, deleting all the settings and the issue is still there. I disconnected all devices from the router and disconnected router from WAN, but HDD light keep blinking. But when I go back to using NTFS, HDD is not active. I tried both USB ports.
Nothing is being written to the drive, I checked for hidden files and folders.
As a test I used a USB Thumb Drive. Formatted the thumb drive to NTFS and there is no activity while plugged in to a router. So I formatted the thumb drive to EXT4 same way as I did HDD, via AMTM. And there is constant activity now as well ( it has an led light ). And now thumb drive is constantly active.
Anyone has any idea what it could be?
