Trouble mounting usb drive

[X82]

I was originally on stock firmware and had a 1TB drive connected to the router. This showed up perfect. I connected a 1.3TB drive which also showed up. But the drive was full of other stuff since it was my old drive and the name of the drive was non descript. I plugged it into my laptop, formatted it, named it and plugged it back in. But now it just shows up as unmounted.
I can't find any setting or way to mount this drive.

Any solutions? Running 374.40 (Merlin build) currently. Also, I'm very new to the Linux world and it's commands.

Much appreciated.

Do you see a link as in the attachment?
Klick it and you may have to remove and replug the disk.
Did you use Windows to format the disk?

I did indeed use Windows.
Both drives connected are NTFS. Ive clicked the link and removed and re-inserted the drive to no avail. I will connect it to my laptop and run a dskchk just to be sure.

Update: dskchk found no errors. After the fifth re-format the drive now works. Maybe it was because I properly disconnected the drive through Windows, rather than just unplugging it?

The only thing is now the drive is named sdc1 for some reason. Even thought I named it when I formatted it. Is there a way of renaming it through the router?

ALWAYS use the proper way to disconnect a disk from Windows! Always!

Did you use spaces in the name or unrecognised characters?
Check the System Log.

To be fair, I did use spaces. I has it named "1.3TB Media Drive".

Here is the log:

It will not use the name given if you use spaces.
Is it working now?

 

[X82]

It is working fine now. Apart from the name.
After I'm done with it, I will connect it to laptop again and rename it to something else, hopefully this wont ruin it.

Thanks for the information!
