Issues with USB on reboot

[Ellenswamy]

So I started having issues again with my USB when rebooting, my router comes back but my aimesh nodes don't reconnect unless I unmount/remove the USB. Then they come right back and connect within seconds. I can plug my USB back in and everything works as expected until next reboot. I check the disk check script and it shows "clean" on boot. this happened before and I had to fix it for awhile by wiping my USB and starting over. Any ideas? This is what I see in the logs

Saw that, I see someone just set the router host name to blank. I have never messed with that, can I just set it to nothing for the hostname?

Edit: mis-understood, domain name not hostname. My issue also occurred even after I completely shut off Time Machine as a test. When I reboot I need to unplug my USB drive I am using for ad-ons to Get everything working again..

Read through that thread again and see if any of the possible causes are applicable to you, e.g. IPv6, Diversion, etc.

P.S. I have no need for Avahi/mDNS so I disable it using the following service-event-end script:

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" = "restart" ] && [ "$2" = "nasapps" ]; then
    logger -t "$(basename $0)" "Stopping mdns"
    service stop_mdns
fi

I run diversion and just changed my block list. Also disabled samba, forgot I had that going, dont really need it
