My apologies if this has been discussed but a search did not turn up this issue.
I'm using the RT87 with OS X Yosemite. I've formatted an external HD (seagate backup plus 4TB) as HFS+. Plugged it into the 87 and turned on Samba share. From OS X, I can see the drive but cannot write to it. Checked permissions on the 87, R/W is enabled. Further investigation turned up something strange; OS X sees the drive as a NTFS formatted disk when connected to the 87. Strange!! Unplugged the HD from the 87, check on OS X, and it turns up correctly as HFS+ format. Plug it back into the 87, and OS X sees it as a NTFS drive.
I'm stumped.
I would like to keep it as a HFS+ drive if at all possible. I would like to be able to read and write to the drive while it is attached to the 87, but as it is now, I can only read.
Help pls! (A refreshing chilled mug of beer to anyone that can help me solve this!
)
Thank you!
