Quick config info. Asus RT-AC68U, fw 384.10.2. I use a USB external Seagate HD, formatted in ext3 format.
I use the router as a minor file server with the USB HD, and generally don't have issue ever. Working on the whole for at least a year. Over the past few months, I have found that occasionally, my USB HD spontaneously disconnects and is unmounted by the Asus. It generally only happens when I'm downloading a large file. I don't think I'm overly connected to it, but have no real way of tracking what has happened. All will be fixed when I reboot the router and HD, but my wife doesn't like being interrupted when that's what I have to do.
The first few months, the HD was formatted FAT and I never had an issue. SNB helped me with a different issue and it was recommended to consider ext format. I did. Only since then have I had this problem maybe once or twice a month. I mention it, because it could be correlated or just coincidence.
Any information I can provide to help track down if it is a firmware problem, configuration problem, connection problem or user error in some way? I've included the relevate date/time for the syslog.txt at the time of the issue.
Thanks in advance for time spent helping me.
