Hi,

I have a 3TB external usb drive connected to the usb 3.0 port of the RT-AC56U. I have created 2 named partitions on the drive with my Mac using the HFS+ format. So far, so good. I can read and write to the drive with no problems. However, when mounted the RT-AC56U gives the partitions generic names (sda2, sda3, etc.). I would like to be able to use the names that I gave the partitions when it was formatted. Any ideas on how to get the partition names to show up in the ASUSWRT GUI?
 
Volume names may not contain spaces and special chars for them to be recognized by the Router.
 
The router does recognize the usb drive and the partitions, but shows up in the Network Place (samba) Share labeled as "sda2" and "sda3". I would prefer the partitions to be labeled as I named them when formatted with OSX utility. Just not sure how to go about doing that.
