E4200v2 - Files on USB Storage keeps getting deleted

I have a Linksys E4200v2 is running firmware 2.1.39.145204.
I'm attaching a 3TB Seagate Expansion external hard drive (STBV3000100) to it.
I've made 2 partitions on the hard drive: a 2TB HFS+, and a 1TB FAT32
My issue is that the at random times, files on my 2TB partition keep getting deleted.
My house runs all macs so we won't need NTFS, but in order to store files larger than 4GB, we want to keep at least a part of the drive using HFS+.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue before? I can't really pinpoint when it happens... sometimes I'll check the hard drive and see that all my folders and files have been deleted. I know it's not much to go on, but hopefully someone has seen something like this...
I have Media Server turned on, and FTP turned off.

I've noticed similar issues with Mac's and NTFS when you disconnect and reconnect USB external drives.
Recommendations:
Reformat drive NTFS if necessary.
Once the USB drive is connected to router never disconnect it without using the safe disconnect button or power off the router first.
Only plug the drive back into the Mac as a last resort but instead access it exclusively through the network.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

  • Why does my storage keep getting filled after deleting everything?

    While it's normal for your charger to feel hot due to its function, sometimes there's too much heat.
    If your charger becomes so hot that you cannot touch it or you note a strange smell, your charger is malfunctioning and should be replaced.
    A charger that malfunctions could damage the iPad battery, which also may need a replacement.

  • Unable to read mp3 files on usb storage on my car radio

    Hello,
    I have bought a car radio (Kenwood KDC-261UB), to listen to mp3 files on usb storage and also on my iphone. Although connected to my iphone all is OK, each time I transfer mp3 files on a storage (whatever the capacity), the car radio is unable to read them or so slow that it becomes prohibitive (NA file displayed). If now I transfer the files with the help of a Linux based computer, everything is OK. So, what is the problem ? Can you help me ? (I'm on a imac, with OS X 10.9.5) Thank you by advance. Francis Beaubois (France)

    Delete the .DS_Store files off the USB drive. Once I did this, it worked 100% with no problems.
    Well, until I went over 1400 files in the root folder, in which case you just need to separate them out into sub-folders.

  • My notes keep getting deleted, how do I recover them?

    My notes keep getting deleted from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2. How do I recover them?

    They are synced through iCloud. How can I view if they appear in iCloud? Because they don't appear in my notes, and I have not checked my Mac to see.

  • My notes keep getting deleted everywhere and I'm synced. Any suggestions?

    My notes keep getting deleted in all my devices and I believe I'm synced. Any advice? It's so frustrating.

    If the notes are synced from a Yahoo! Email, Yahoo! tends to devour notes.

  • Why do my HTTPS proxy password keep getting deleted?

    I use my MAC on a corporate network
    in order to access the internet I have to do it via a proxy server. I have set the proxy settings against the Network interface, but it keeps getting deleted, so that I have to retype it.
    can anyone let me know why this happens and what I can do to solve it so that I do not keep putting in user name and password.
    Cheers

    In your calendar app, in the bottom middle there's the words 'calendar'. Tap on that and make sure your iPad's internal calendar is selected. What happens sometimes with mine is that it defaults to my synced calendar and not the internal one, so my internal one is there just not visible.

  • Images and videos keep getting deleted automatical...

    Recently upgraded to symbian anna for my nokia N8, but keep having problems with it. All new and old images got automatically deleted. everytime I take new photos, they automatically get deleted as soon as battery gets low or cell gets switched off or restarted for any reason. what to do? please please help!! whats the use of 12 megapixel camera if cant store photos..

    Im afraid it sounds like your device memory has corrupted, have you deleted or removed any applications or software on the device that may have caused this to happen?
    The only way to fix this problem would be to do a hard reset, However before doing this go into mass memory storage and recover whatever image, video and contact files you can (I am aware that you said most of them are .lnk now), and try to manually back up your media and information that you would like to keep, also create a full phone back up using Ovi Suite (this most likely wont be used, because if you where to use this back up after the hard reset the problem would probably persist however its nice to keep it just incase!).
    After doing a hard reset, put your phone back into Mass memory storage and manually put back your media and other information.
    If your phone still isnt fixed, restore your phone using the full back up made in Ovi Suite, created before the hard reset.
    If your problem STILL persists, You will have to take your phone to a local Nokia Care Point and have a technical expert take a look at it.
    I really hope this helps!

  • I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

    I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
    Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
    'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
    Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

    Hi Mylenium,
    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
    I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

  • My recorded tracks keep getting deleted. Help?

    After recording 4 tracks (drums), they get deleted when I go back to listen to them. All I'm doing after recording is pressing the space bar to stop, then pressing enter to get back to the beginning. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    The only settings I had to change was to make sure the gain was turned up. I assume you're using an interface? Make sure it's selected in GB Prefs and in the Track Info Pane and that the gain is up.
    Maybe someone else knows if something else can cause this.

  • DS6 dse.ldif file keeps getting deleted

    I am running Directory Server 6.3 on Solaris 10 U7. Last night I applied various system patches - none of them appear to the related to ldap or the directory server. Some times when I shutdown some thing seems to crash and the system does system dump. When I restart directory fails to start. The log shows
    Configuration error The default password storage scheme SSHA could not be read
    or was not found in the file /opt/ldap/slapd-server1/config/dse.ldif. It is mandatory.
    the dse.ldif file is blank. Fortunately the dse.ldif.startOK is OK. It looks like it had been created or modified during a clean shutdown yesterday evening.
    Any thoughts?
    thanks

    HI
    I have about 5 GB free on the rpool volume (i.e. /, /opt etc.)
    During the patching process (along with trying to get a tape drive working) I rebooted aout 3-4 times. At least twice, it looked like something panicked/crashed/dumped. My guess is that the directory server deleted the existing dse.ldif file, there was a system error, then directory server could not write the new file. it seems odd that at least twice that the crash occured immediately after the file was deleted. Would directory server crash if it can't write files? Server shutdown might take 5 min while various services are closed.
    When I stop the ds-myinstance svc with "svcadm" (without rebooting) it looks like it does update dse.ldif (at least time time stamp) , and creates and dse.ldif.bak file. On restarting the service cleanly, the dse.ldif.StartOK file is updated. So it looks like directory server itself is OK but either can't write files because of some other, system-related shutdown issue..
    What I may need to try is stopping directory server then shutting down the system and seeing if I get panic/coredumps/file syncs.
    Thanks

  • Keep getting deleted emails back and mail will not close,have to force quit

    i have 4 emails that will not stay deleted.I will delete them and as soon as i reopen my mail they come back.Its as if they never left.Then i can't close my mail.i have to force quit. I have read of other problems close to mine and tried there solutions with no success.I do not know if my setting in pref. are correct or not. This problem is not allowing me to recieve new emails i just keep getttting these same 4 back time after time. very frustrating.

    You're welcome.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    In order to fix the problem, we'll have to re-create Envelope Index. The thing is, Mail may choke on those messages while re-creating the index, so either be prepared for that or perform optional steps 1 and 3:
    1. (Optional, but recommended). Assuming this is a POP account, in the Finder go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/, and identify the *.emlx files associated with the troublesome messages. Viewing the *.emlx files as List in the Finder showing the creation/modification date may help. Just identify them; do not get rid of them yet (you must quit Mail first).
    2. Quit Mail.
    3. (Optional, but recommended). Move to the Trash the troublesome *.emlx files found in step 1.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
    5. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate Deleted Messages.mbox, and move it to the Trash. I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
    7. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.
