Unable to remount USB 3.0 Drive

[jdpg2]

Had this thumb drive mounted without issue, I could see it and select it as a location for my log files ((was still fighting with getting it to write my log files). I removed it and reformatted it and now it wont remount. The router see it as unmounted and when I try the renew option nothing happens. Here is the log when I first plugged it in.

Any ideas?

running merlin 380.63_2 on Asus ac5300

What file system did you format it with?

What file system did you format it with?

its exFat, which it was before when it worked. Should I change that?

 

[john9527]

Ahhh.....exFat isn't supported. Not sure why it would work previously.

 

[jdpg2]

yea strange.. out of the wrapper it was exFat.. so should I just format it as Fat or NTFS ?

 

[jdpg2]

NTFS solved the issue. Ty

Best would be to format your flash drive as a Linux file system Ext2 drive.
