Adding USB disk

I am having trouble getting my 802.11n AEBS to recognize my USB disk drive. I am using a Buffalo Drive Station which I have formatted as HFS+. I will almost never see the drive when I first power it on without restarting the AEBS. Even then it only sees it some of the time. When it does see it, the data transfers to it are so slow as to be unuseable (sometimes as slow a 100kBps or less). I noticed that Apple posted a page saying the AEBS only supports USB drives with a block size of 512 bytes. Does anyone know how to tell what the block size is? I can't find it in any of the documentation. Could this be why I am having trouble with this disk drive?

I have a similar problem, so maybe this can get answered at the same time.
I hooked up my Maxtor 1TB in Fat 32 and it won't work. I can see the drive, but the files are not accessable. For instance, when I click on my iTunes folder on that drive, it starts to list the files, then after a second, goes blank and at the bottom says "0 items, 41GB available".
I hooked up my Lacie 500GB supposedly in "AppleShare" or "Windows Sharing" or "SMB/CIFS" (are these drive formats?!?) and this drive works beautifully.
Do I have a) too many files? Or b) AEx has limited/no Fat 32 capability? Or c) something I'm overlooking?
Also, since my 1TB drive is packed, I'd have to buy another one to reformat!!!

Folders added to USB disk connected to EA6700 not seen by Panasonic TV

Hello,
I have a Seagate 1.5TB USB ST315005EXA101-RK connected to EA6700.
The USB disk contains two folders with pictures, and they are fully visible in the Panasonic TV.
Today I added some other folders to the USB disk, but they are not seen in the Panasonic TV.
Shall I remove .tmp & cache folders in the USB disk in order to let EA6700 show all folders in the TV ?

Sorry for not replying to this forum earlier. I have been busy with other tasks.
I disconnected the USB disk from EA6700, and connected it to my PC.
Then I removed .tmp and cache folders, and connected the disk back to EA6700.
Now I see all pictures on TV,
The lesson from this problem is to reconnect the disk to PC and remove .tmp & cache folders.

USB disk access of every type is hosed - HELP!?

Newbie with the very latest "Don't Panic" running on a laptop. I'm coming off a year with various bloateddistros, looking for something fast and stable.
I've got my internal drive up, networking, x, gnome and openoffice all working great. Next step is to plug in my external 160gig drive with all my data on it. This is a very standard USB2-to-EIDE drive, I've had no problems with it in any distro. It's split between a 32gig FAT32 partition and a 119gig Ext3.
I followed the wiki on autofs. Nothing. Then played with HAL and the like. Made my user a member of group "storage". Still nothing.
I've seen mount problems before of course, so I tried adding gparted via pacman and running that from a root command line just to see what's physically out there. Not good: gparted never finishes getting past the "Scanning all devices....." process with the blue bar bouncing back and forth. When gparted first starts I can hear the external disk spin up and chug for a few seconds, but then nothing.
I tried a 1gig USB flash critter (probably Fat32), nothing there either. I think something is fundamentally hosed in my USB disk support. I do have a USB external trackball working though...so my ports are up.
My daemons at present:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond ntpd hal cups gdm alunnd)
Heeeelp! Neeeed my daaaata!
Wait, something else weird: if I turn on the external disk I see some CPU activity on my gnome panel monitor. Nothing major, a few light spikes. I've got a Celeron 1.6 but with the new 533 memory bus and 2gigs RAM. Once I run gparted it goes bananas and then once I close gparted CPU activity is pegged hard at 100% - yet there's no listed process eating that. Then when I turn off the external drive, CPU activity falls back to normal.
WTF, over?

Well before reading Veek's post I got further along. Almost there I think.
I went and loaded XFCE4 plus extras, and logged in with a XFCE session. I like having a backup desktop environment anyways in case Gnome gets squirrelly.
In XFCE Thunar shows the disks, but when I try and access 'em I get:
Failed to mount "128G Volume".
(exo-mount:4613): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
You are not privileged to mount the volume "128G Volume".
What I can't figure out is, what permissions? I'm added to groups "storage" and "disks"...any more needed?

I'm going to jump back to Gnome and try Veek's concepts...

Can I watch iTunes-purchased movies from an Airport Extreme USB disk?

With the newest Airport firmware (7.6.1), it seems I should be able to do this.
My scenario is so basic, I can't understand why I'm having trouble achieving this.
- I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.2 - since it's a laptop, I don't want to leave it on all the time.
- I have an AirPort Extreme with a USB disk on it (that I use for backing up my MacBook), recently upgraded to newest firmware 7.6.1.
- I have a recently purchased Apple TV hard-wired to the AirPort running firmware 4.4.4.
- I have purchased movies though iTunes on the MacBook Pro.
I want to watch my iTunes-purchased movies on my Apple TV even when my MacBook Pro is sleeping. That is, I would like the movies to be accessible via iCloud, or stored on the USB disk connected to AirPort Extreme, or something/anything.
It seems obvious to me that with an all-Apple set up, and iCloud, this should be easy to achieve.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
j

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

USB disk won't mount on startup (have tried everything)

Hi!
I'm having big problems getting my USB disk to mount on startup.:(
It used to work perfectly by having 'mount /dev/sdc1 /media/disk' in rc.local (and umount in local.shutdown) but recently it started saying that 'filesystem type must be defined' (or something like that). So I changed the line to 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /media/disk' but now I get a message that '/dev/sdc1 does not exist'.
So I decided to get this fixed in fstab once and for all.
I checked the designations of the disks with 'fdisk -l' and noticed that the USB disk would alternate between /dev/sdc, /dev/sde and /dev/sdd quite random on every reboot. In other words I couldn't mount it in fstab by using one of those paths cause I'd get the same problem with '/dev/sdc or -e or -d does not exist'. I figured the sollution must be to mount the disk by using UUID. I checked the uuid's and got the following (as you can see the USB disk is on this reboot registered as '/dev/sde'):
bash-3.2$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0

I other words the UUID of the disk should be '94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6' so I added that to the fstab file, but I still get the same error that the disk doesn't exist. How is this possible? Isn't the UUID supposed to be the same no matter what? When the disk is clearly labeled with this UUID every time I check it why can't it be used in fstab??
Here's my fstab (I've commented out the lines that I've been trying out):
# /etc/fstab: static file system information

#/dev/sdc1 /media/disk defaults 0 0
#UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk defaults 0 0
What am I doing wrong here? I've also tried to use different options like 'rw,auto,exec' but it won't work.

It seems I'm able to mount the disk from the terminal by doing '# sudo mount UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk'.
But this only works when I do it manually. Adding 'mount UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk' to rc.local only gives the error that filesystem must be defined and when it's defined I get the error that device is not found.
How can it work manually, but not in fstab or rc.local?
Here's my dmesg:

My Airport disconnects randomly when USB disk is attached..HELP NEEDED !!!!

My Airport Extreme disconnects randomly when USB disk is attached, I have searched this forum but found now obvious solution.
The Airport Extreme has the latest firmware.
Since the airdisk solution is quite useless at this time, I would kindly accept any kind of help .....thanks
Sieber

Len61 got my reply, I have copied below.
Hi - I have been on the phone with support 4X since late December - all good calls. They have been scratching their heads on this issue.
I have 2 printers and 2 drives on the airport -recent experieinces = printers have always behaved, drives have appeared / vanished / "drive needs repair" and it's just fine...
Cutting out the interim fixes, here are the simple but important solutions and everything has been stable for days now.
* rolled back to AEBS firmware 7.1.1
* replaced the passive USB hub with a powered hub ** This is when joy arrived
* make sure your drive has a block size of 512
You can run guest mode however you want, since adding the new hub, it hasn't mattered.
I haven't been brave enough to upgrade firmware to 7.2.1
cheers

How to connect usb disk

Using airport utilithy 6.1, i've enabled file sharing and added a disk password. all looks good, but i don't see the disk in finder. Any ideas folks?

Checkpoints:
The disk should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
If the disk is formatted correctly, a number of users....me included...are reporting that they must use a powered USB hub with the AirPort Extreme to compensate for the borderline power at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme....even if the hard drive has its own separate power supply
If the drive is formatted correctly and has sufficient power, the AirPort Extreme icon will appear under the SHARED heading in the Finder
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon and a folder representing the hard drive will appear in the window to the right
Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop.
Note.....you may need to click "Connect As" the first time that you do this and enter the disk password to connect.

AEBSn + USB disk, not visible in Windows

Have been using AEBSn as access point for last 6 months. Now added a LaCie MacMini drive via the USB port on AEBSn but am unable to access it via the LAN. I know this is a common problem and have checked the settings described in some of the responses to no avail.
The disk is formatted as HFS and can be accessed using MacDrive when directly attached to PC. The disk name is currently "Lemon" (so no funny characters).
AEBSn has latest firmware (7.2.1), the disk is visible under "disks" on the Airport Utility, file sharing is enabled with base station password, guest access is read & write and disks are advertised globally using Bonjour.
I have tried to access from three different PCs. The latest Bonjour (1.0.4) is loaded and is enabled in firewall (AVG in 2 and Windows in other). From Windows Explorer I can see the AEBS (properties shows it as a CIFS server) but it has no folders. The Airport Disk Agent is running in the system tray but does not detect any disks.
Please help, my central back strategy is in ruins!

Hi, I just got my usb disk working!
I got Airport Extreme (the latest one), all the firmware updates (7.2.1) one pc with WINXP. A 500Gb USB disk from Packard Bell. I want to connect the drive to the Airport and serve files over the wireless.
my trouble was that while I could see the disk in airport utility, I could not actually connect: wrong password, user etc.
As the disk is visible in Airport Utility and the Extreme station is visible in the disk management utility in the status bar, I concluded that there must be a problem outside of the Airport Extreme. Indeed, this I found to be in my network settings, which I easily fixed by installing Microsoft Client for Networks. Practically I did this by Start>Network settings right click Properties. then selected the wireless network right click properties once more. Under the General tab I checked for the presence of Microsoft Client for Networks, it wasn't there so on the same screen I click Install.. select Clients and fianlly Microsoft Client for Networks. Bingo.
I hope this helps, I spent a whole day looking around in this forum and no one has suggested this. So I do and wish you good luck! (now to see if I can get the music onto my Airport Express!!!)

Performance of WRT610N (v1) with attached USB disk

Greetings, I've had my WRT610N for a while now and have had no complaints on performance. Over this past weekend, however, I attached a USB disk to it (cheaper than adding a NAS). I can mount it without problem on my Vista box, but it seems that when the disk is being accessed (read or write), I get severe performance degradation on my network connection. Severe enough to render the network unusable.
Is this to be expected? Is there a setting in the firmware that will prioritize network activity over disk activity?
The PCs in question are wired and the router is running the latest firmware (1.00.03.15). The disk (previously formatted on my computer) is NTFS. If there are any other pertinent pieces of information, please let me know.
Thanks.
Message Edited by msfeinstein on 10-05-2009 04:27 PM

Try reducing the MTU size to 1300 on the router's GUI and check if the problem resolve...If not then,try upgrading/reflashing the router's firmware and reconfigure it from the scratch....

Can't share sd card as usb disk

I'm running FirefoxOs 1.1 on an Alcatel Fire. I have activated the two options needed to share the sd card (which is working fine) as a usb disk but my computer (Debian) doesn't recognize it. When I connect the phone it creates an sdb entry in /dev but with no partition (sdb1).
So far, the only way of achieving this is by issuing the command described here (http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2014=15) under "Adding usb access to sdcard" > step 5. I have to do this every time I connect the phone, of course.
Additional information:
- The sd card is working fine. I can use it on the computer with a microsd adapter.
- The sd card works fine on the phone also.
- I have enabled the usb disk and shared the sd card in the phone.
- The page I linked says the partition should appear when I unlock the home screen, I did try that but it still doesn't work.

Hi lufte,
Thank you for your question. This forum is meant for use cases, and this may be a question for stackoverflow.com
Have you enabled USB storage on the Settings option, are there other apps using the storage and have you rooted the phone?
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=994376]
Looking forward to your reply.

Only Certain files on USB disks not recognized

Hi all:
At first, my macbook was unable to recognize some files in 2 particular folders on my usb disks (Western Digital 250 and 500)... then, following an update, they now seem to be working fine.
Since, I have added a Windows XP desktop directly to the router (wired)... the Windows desktop will not read the information in the same 2 folders. You can see the folders and click on them, but the information inside the folders does not display... Other folders on the same disks work fine.
Both are disks are FAT32 formatted... the folders are large and contain videos.
Any ideas?
Thanks...

Many people seem to be having this problem. What seems to help is plugging in the disk into the AEBS and created a new empty folder. Then plug it into your windows machine. Copy everything that was in the root of the drive to that new folder. Plug it back into the the AEBS and everything should show up now. I know it is a pain in the ***, but this seems to work...

GNOME, nautilus, devicekit-disks: mount USB disk

Hi,
I recently upgraded and have now nautlius 2.28.2-1 together with devicekit-disks 009-1 installed.
As usual mounting/unmounting USB disks in nautilus stopped working. I searched the wiki, forums, bugs and google to gather information about this topic, but you know ...
When I try to mount a disk (they all show up in nautilus) nautilus pops up an error declaring me "Not Authorized". After quite some reading I think nautilus now uses devicekit-disks to actually mount my USB disks, so I tried to mount it with devicekit-disks:
[resi@nomad ~]$ devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdc
Mount failed: Not Authorized
In older versions of nautilus I used to edit some files in /etc to grant myself permissions (PolicyKit.conf), but this does not work anymore.
I found a hint and edited /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy (this one is coming with devicekit-disks) and modified the default for the actions org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount action:
<allow_any>yes</allow_any>
Having done so I can now mount the USB disks using nautilus, devicekit-disks or palimpsest (suffering from the same "Not Authorized" problem). Unmounting has a little flaw though, it seems like nautilus tries to eject the medium when unmounting, but then again its "Not Authorized" to do so.
However, this is the only solution I could come up with. Since the file I modified will probably be replaced without notice during the next upgrade I fear I will have to go all the way again, not remembering anymore what I did to fix this (otoh, after writing this I probably will).
And since the values in org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy are declared as defaults (and by the fact it lives under /usr) I assume there has to be a site configuration file somewhere in /etc.
Where should I but my customizations? I mean, whats the proper way to do so?
Thanks,
Christoph
P.S.: I like nautilus, it makes me unhappy to use thunar/pmount/whatever to mount my disks.

me again ... this whole *kit stuff seems so odd to me.
I finally read all the devicekit, then the policykit docs, Syu-ed and have now devicekit-disks 009-3 installed.
Using polkit-actions without arguments prints a list of registered actions (known to policykit). This list was pretty short:
[resi@nomad ~]$ polkit-action
org.freedesktop.policykit.read
org.freedesktop.policykit.revoke
org.freedesktop.policykit.grant
org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults
PolicyKit considers all *.policy files under /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/, only the policykit package installs its files (well, its one file) there.
devicekit-disks (and probably some other packages providing *.policy files) seems to forget about that. So I added a symlink:
[root@nomad policy]# ln -s /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/
Thats not enough, the file seems to be out of date. I had to replace all auth_admin_keep defaults with auth_admin_keep_session until the file validated.
And hurray:
[resi@nomad ~]$ polkit-action
org.freedesktop.policykit.read
org.freedesktop.policykit.revoke
org.freedesktop.policykit.grant
org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-check
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-check-system-internal
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-unmount-others
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-lsof
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-lsof-system-internal
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.drive-eject
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.drive-detach
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.change

org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.luks-unlock

org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.linux-md
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.cancel-job-others
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.inhibit-polling
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.drive-set-spindown
polkit-auth shows my authorizations, thus:
[resi@nomad ~]$ polkit-auth | grep mount
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-unmount-others
It seems to me that I am authorized for all actions listed above, I guess thats because this user is in both the wheel and root groups.
However, when I try to actually mount something nothing has changed.
[resi@nomad ~]$ devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdc
Mount failed: Not Authorized
Since policykit is now properly configured I can use polkit-action or polkit-gnome-authorization to modify the default values in the way polkit expects me to (not tampering with with the *.policy files).
[resi@nomad ~]$ polkit-action --action org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount
action_id: org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount
description: Mount a device
message: Authentication is required to mount the device
default_any: yes (factory default: no)
default_inactive: yes (factory default: no)
default_active: yes
But even now mounting fails because I'm not authorized.
Back to the start, if I change the factory defaults in org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy mounting succeeds.
I think there might be 2 bugs involved here:
1.) missing links to policy files in /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/
2.) policykit fails to consider overrides for factory defaults
What do you think?

How to control DE USB disk Automounts.

Hi,
Can someone please guide me as to how to 'control' Automounts by DE when we plug USB disk drives.
I have KDE4 on my Arch system. When I connect a pen drive/USB HDD which is formatted as vfat/NTFS, the system(or KDE) 'Automounts' it in /media and I have read/write access to it. But if I use the same drive and format it as ext4, it wont be mounted as read/write for normal users but only for root.
Now pen drives and USB HDD's are removable storage drives and hence are volatile and could not have a fixed mount point, so it cannot be mounted by putting an entry in fstab or could they?. And I need my USB HDD frequently, and manually mounting it through CLI everytime and working on it as root is a bad idea i guess.
I am posting this because m confused as to how to control this Automount feature-What is the backend to it? Because I've read that HAL no longer takes care of it and that HAL will be deprecated soon, instead UDEV takes care of it. If that is the case then should I be concerned about polkit? Because that is what's the output provided by Dolphin(freedesktop.org policy prevented blah blah).
Another thing is if HAL is still in use and Automounts my devices then is it independent or polkit is a part of it. Then, is using hal-easy an option or replacement to standard HAL. ??!!??
I tried HAL archwiki and used the code to give a user permission to give rw access to automounted ext filesystems, but then nothing is mounted, it sings the same old freedesktop.org prevented bla blah song. And I think this is a question for all linuxes using Gnome and KDE in general.
Any help is appreciated.

If by 'ability to mount as user' you mean to mount it manually but read/write access to normal users then yes. But primarily I need automounting as user, also be able to give access to other users for read/write et filesystem automounts.

Time Machine times-out on external USB disk, but works on 2 others

Hello,
I wanted to share my experience, in case it is helpful to someone else. It appears that one of my external hard disks has a hardware fault, or that TM is overly sensitive to its state, thus preventing me using it for backup.
After upgrading from Tiger to Leopard on my Macbook Pro 2.16GHz, I had been trying over the last couple of days, without success, to backup using Time Machine to an external USB hard disk at work. It is a Maxtor disk in a BlueEye U235 case. On each attempt to make the initial backup, TM would copy between 2 and 25GB of data (of 75 total) to the disk, and then stall indefinately, without giving an error. (Ejecting the disk at this point and restarting the computer just lead to further problems with completing the backup that I won't go into here). I tried many times, each time reformatting the disk (with the GUID partition map), deleting the TM preference file, restarting and ensuring all other apps were not running. I was completely fed-up!
I subsequently tried backing up for the first time on a freshly re-partitioned (GUID map) Firewire 400 external disk (Prolific PL3507 Combo Device in a BlueEye O2 case) at home, and this worked perfectly the first time, taking a couple of hours. (All applications were closed at the time). Subsequent backups to this drive work fine.
I tried again with the disk at work and it continued to fail. Finally I decided to follow what was being thrown up to the system.log. I discovered that shortly after TM was stalling (somewhere between 10 and 40 mins after commencing the backup), repeated messages would appear in system.log saying "kernel IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceType00::setPowerState(0x4cbe100, 2 -> 1) timed out after 100683 ms" (with the "2 - > 1" and number of ms different each time), with a few minutes between each one. This suggested to me that there was some sort of intermittent failure of the disk, or the connection between the Macbook Pro and the disk, or something I don't understand. It is worth keeping in mind that this disk has been working perfectly for me - I've been backup up entire system to it every couple of days using SuperDuper, without any errors or problems.
So, I then tried using a different (LaCie) Firewire disk at work, and after reformatting / partitioning (GUID map), the backup to this worked perfectly the first time, with the entire ~68 GB completing in about 2 hours. (As an aside, switching between the TM backup disks at Home and Work works well - TM just catches up from where it last left off on the particular drive).
The message I wanted to convey is that, in my experience, TM may fail during a backup (stall in fact, as no explicit message was generated) to a disk that outwardly appears to be fully functional. I'm not sure if in my case there is a minor error with the disk, a fault with TM, or both. Interestingly, upon bringing the disk home today and switching it on it won't mount at all, on my computer or that of my partner. I'm not sure if the problems with TM were therefore indicative of imminent disk failure, or whether the trip home in the pannier on my bike has damaged the drive . So, if you're having this or some other difficulty, on a drive that you haven't purchased new, it may be worth considering that an unsuccessful TM backup may be due to a current, or imminent, problem with the disk.
Just my two cents worth.

Yes, I think you have a good point. The motivation for my post was just to make people aware - as there seems to be many people having problems with TM - that maybe the first drive you try, particularly if it is not new, may not work and that it is worth trying another if you can. Particularly in light of the fact that I didn't receive any explicit error messages, that is other than the one in the system.log file.
The USB disk was powered separately and was plugged directly into one of my USB ports (not via a hub). At the same time a USB mouse was plugged in. I think it is USB 2, but I'm not sure, and as it is not working now, I don't know how to check.
The rate at which data is copied to the two drives that work (via Firewire 400) seemed to be quite similar to the rate for the USB drive, until it bombed out.

How do I move old Time Machine backups to new USB disk

Hi,
I purchased a new 1TB USB disk and want to keep my historic backups. I remember trying this a while ago when I moved disks and ended up giving up. Anyone care to tell me the steps I need to step on ?
cheers
Adam
