EA4500 USB drive going offline

I have the latest firmware installed. I have an Intel SSD drive formatted as NTFS attached to the USB port. I have a device which has the drive mounted and copies files to the USB storage once a minute. After about 3 hours, the goes offline and I have to discconect it and reconnect it. The files are about 16Meg. I'm not able to see anything in the log as it wraps by the time I catch the error. The drive is readable from another computer. The device making the copies sees an empty directory but will see all the folders when the USB device is unplugged and replugged in, then brought online.
Any idea what causes storage to go offline?

Try another USB drive on the router and see if it will have the same problem. Do try another device or computer, too, to see if it will get the same issue. It is possible that you may have to reset the router and reconfigure from scratch.

How to stop importing from usb drive going into root ITMS directory

First time I imported, everything was fine. I was trying to get rid of some duplicates and got rid of one of the main subdirectories (I had "Itunes Music" folder with two main subdirectories, let's call them "Laptop" and "Desktop." I noticed I had many duplicate artists from these, so I deleted the "Laptop" directory. Naturally, all these showed up with asterisks on iTunes. With no easy way to delete them all (can't sort based on asterisk, apparently), I removed EVERYTHING from my Library and attempted to copy over from the USB drive again. This time, the contents of "Laptop" went into the root "iTunes Music" folder (so there were now ~50+ folders including the "Desktop."
This isn't working for me, since my objective is to get rid of the duplicate work (duplicate tracks I can somewhat stomach, but I also have some duplicate "Artists" which is driving me crazy). I removed everything from the library, deleting it all (~30+GB) and deleted all of the subdirectories from the iTunes Music folder.
When I went to reimport it all again. I dragged the "Laptop" folder from Finder on the USB drive into the iTunes Music directory again (as I did the first time), recreated the and everything continues to populate the top iTunes music folder. Is there any way to stop this? I want the "Laptop" folder to stay in it's subdirectory structure distinct and separate from the "Desktop" folder so I can ensure I am not unnecessarily increasing my structure.
One easy (though extremely tedious) alternative could be to import the folders one at a time... but I'd really like to avoid that. But for my first mistake, this wouldn't have been an issue. I haven't changed any settings on iTunes, so please advise!

I have duplicate (different) stuff on the laptop versus desktop but some unique to each (and all kinda scrambled up). I first started importing on my old G3 ibook. It was slower and chugged harder and some are at really low bitrate, for example, and also lack album art. My XP desktop was made for gaming and is much more powerful, so I always did high bitrate and was much more careful to do all the album art, etc.
Now I'm trying to consolidate it all on my new MBP... Mostly, though, it's a mess and I've been putting this off for years and it's mostly my fault. My biggest gripe is the large number of duplicate tracks. I can live with these when they're from different albums (compilations mostly), but not when one is a lower bit. I imagine I'm gonna be doing it the hard way, one album/artist at a time...

External USB drive goes to sleep, iPhoto complains when it try's to access it and exits

I moved my iPhoto to an external USB Harddrive and everything at first worked fine. Now I get these errors sometimes "Your iPhoto Library is missing". iPhoto will exit and when you start it again everything is fine. What I think is happening is the external USB drive has gone to sleep due to inactivity. Is there a setting in OS X that I can control this with ? I ugly hack would be to set up a cron job to do a ls of the root external USB drive every 15min. Is there a special feature that you should look for when buying an external USB drive ? It is very iratating to get these messages from iPhoto and iTunes.
Thanks

Firewire drives going offline independently

Recently, one of my hard drives, a 1TB eSATA drive, starting taking itself offline without warning. I unhooked it from the eSATA card, and hooked into my FireWire 400 chain. That worked for a little bit, and then it started all over again. I assumed the drive was going bad because it was in an enclosure with no fan, and replaced the drive w/another SATA drive, an SATA to IDE adapter, and put in an older FireWire (400) enclosure with a fan. Today THAT HD started taking itself offline. Then another drive started (a WB "book" drive I've had for a few years). I took the WB drive out of the chain, changed the FW cable and put the new drive back on. It now randomly takes itself offline and then puts itself back on. I'm about to unhook a used Griffin Technology FireWave unit i bought recently from the chain and hook the drives back on, hoping that clears it up.
THIS IS MAKING ME CRAZY! What's happening? The fact that the first hard drive that started offing itself was hooked up via eSATA doesn't help any.

Possibly, but the fact that ou switched then it worked for a bit, gives me hope.
I'm not sure what pinout your adaopters use, but...

My USB Drive goes half speed on Arch

Dear Archers:
I have a problem when running my USB hard drive (of 1 TB) on my Arch laptop. For some reason, the drive, which is a USB 3.0, copies files from the external to the internal drive at about 30 MB/s. Doing the "same" task with the "same" files on the "same" USB 3 port on the "same" laptop on other Debian-based distros results in a transfer rate of 60 - 100 MB/s. Am I missing some package to run at full speed with my Arch system?
Another thing that I've also noticed is that there's a delay of more than 1 minute when I try to mount the drive. This doesn't happen on other distros.
Any hint or suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance

Ok guys. An annoying update here.
The problem with this external drive achieved a new level of difficulty for me. Yesterday the problems were a slow mount (over a minute) and slow transfer rates for both writing and reading data. Today I got back home and tried to plug the drive once again and the freaking thing just won't mount at all!. The hard drive appears in the list of detected devices and on my file manager, but when I click on it to open the folder and get it to mount, the complete file manager freezes. I have to unplug it and try again. I have to repeat these steps something like four or five times in order to see the content (I was really really scared when I experienced this because I thought the drive was broken, but I tried it in another PC and everything was showing correctly).
I'm starting to get desesperate...I constantly write data to back it up for job purposes. Hopefully I'll solve this thing, or you guys can throw some more technical help at me.
In case it matters: The external drive is a USB 3.0 (brand Verbatim) of 1 TB, I keep the default filesystem that drive was using as factory default (I think is NTFS). I have Arch Linux updated as of today, with the latest stable packages. I run Arch with Ubuntu's Unity in UEFI mode as the only OS. I tried other file managers as well including KDE's Dolphin, Thunar, PCManFM and Nemo but no avail.

RAID 0 Goes Offline

I am using the K7N2 Delta ILSR mb. I have two 80GB Seagate SATA drives raided 0 as a single 160GB drive in Array 1. I have a 40GB Maxtor drive on IDE3 that I use as a back up in Array 2. For some reason the 2 MAS drive just goes offline. It did it once while I was installing WinXP, and tonight while I was in the proccess of backing up important files. Each time this drive goes offline, the entire RAID goes offline. So I went into the RAID BIOS and sure enough it reports that array 1 is RAIDed as 160GB, but only one drive is available (1 MAS). The second drive only shows ?:?. If I try to create Array 3, then the "lost" drive is available to be used in that array. However, it cannot be used in Array 1 anymore. What gives? This is really frustraing. I have tried resetting the CMOS and turning off the computer for several hours without any luck. The only way to remedy the problem is for me to delete Array 1 and then recreate it. Of course all of my data is gone after doing this. Any help will be appreciated.

I was running into the same issues and then I figured out what my specific issue was which may not necessarily be yours.
I found that the power supply adapters for the Serial drives where the culprit. These things are built so cheaply that if I even slightly nudged the cable, it would bring one of my drives offline and require a rebuild every time. Thank God for mirrored raid! The only way I'd ever run a striped raid is if my raid bios could do 0+1.
My recommendation: don't use the adapters - they're utterly useless. Did I mention worthless?
What fixed my issue was getting a very nice power supply that has the SATA power connectors hard-wired into the power supply. The one I got cost a few bucks but it's reliable and stable voltages really sold me. I have not had the problem since. Oh yeah, nice warranty too. Would you believe I don't work for them? I tout their P/S because I like them that much.
I got mine here:

Hope this helps but I think Wonkanoby was on the right track in the beginning when he asked about your power supply.

ESXi 4.1 and HP P212 - tape drive goes off-line

Hi everyone,
Im having a problem with a tape drive going offline and I hope you guys can help me out.
I’m running ESXi 4.1.0 (348481) on a brand new HP DL380 G7 server, the server has a HP Smart Array P212 controller with a HP Ultrium 4 tape drive connected to it.
I installed 1 Windows Server 2008 R2 VM and assigned the tape drive to the server.
CA ArcServe r16 is installed for making back-ups and all latest patches and updates are installed.
It seems the drive gets set off-line during the day. Scheduled back-up at night won’t run because the drive is off-line but if I manually set the drive online I'm running a test back-up straight after it runs successful.
I have checked the CA ArcServe tape log and noticed the following errors:
[Unexpected SCSI Sense Code [ABSL:2020 CMD<TEST UNIT READY> SC:22h 34]
DRV:1 Hit HARDWARE_ERROR[61700] from TUR
JobID[0] SCSIPort Error DevType[5] LDN[1] SN[HU1113FRDN] CMD[TEST UNIT READY] Sent[13:57:01] MS Error[61700]
SetDeviceOnline::The device [1] has been set as off-line
Google shows some post about other people having some problems with the P212 controller, even though the compatibility list says its supported.
Im just wondering if anyone has seen this problem before and if the P212 controller indeed is causing problems.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hey I'm having the same issue on ESXi 5.5 with arcserve 16.5 sp1. Did you ever find a solution?

10.5.1 breaks booting from USB drive

Has it been noticed before? Booting from external USB drive goes fine with 10.5 on my MacBooks (mark I & III). After the 10.5.1 update, boot-up gets stuck on the white screen with apple logo and spinning "waiting" symbol. The fans start blowing hard and nothing happens anymore. Not for hours anyway.
When I insert the same external harddisk into the laptop, it does boot! Have not tried to get it out again, sorry.

Nope, nothing else and MacBook connected to power adapter. Will try and boot again from same drive on USB (as opposed to internal) later on and see if it goes.

FCE,WD MyBook 1T USB External Drive, Media going offline

Hey Everyone:
I am having a problem with the above combination which I am using on White MB (the last version before the newest version). Each time I go back into the FCE file there seems to be files going offline and then having difficulty reconnecting.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Mark

Although USB 2.0 HDs are not officially supported, in my experience (and that of many friends) they work perfectly.
In any case, should they cause any problem at all, it would likely be in connection with some form of erratic video playback and not simple file recognition.
So I strongly suspect there is some other factor involved.
You don't say anything about the video format or your version of FCE . . . . . FCE 4 only works with DV and HDV TAPE cameras together with AVCHD ones.
You mention nothing about your method of working or whether this is a new problem or it has never worked.
In addition to providing us with more info take a look here:-
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303874
Incidentally, are you moving or renaming the original captured video, music or photos? Any movement or renaming of the original media files or anything connected with them will result in an offline event.

HP Photosmart B110a constantly goes offline and won't print via USB either

Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8
HP Photosmart B110
I've connected the printer to my wireless network without any issues, but when I first tried to connect my macbook pro to the printer, it would keep disappearing from the network. Once I finally managed to connect it, every time I go to print something now, it will always say it is offline. Even when I try and bypass the wireless connection and connect via USB, it will still say it is offline.
I've have tried reinstalling the printer and driver many times, and I've tried connecting 2 other macbooks via the wireless and all experience the same issue. It is starting to get incredibly frustrating having to reinstall the printer over and over again.
I would appreciate a solution that would prevent it from always going offline, even If I have to give up the wireless 'feature' and permanently print via USB. I do not have time to continuously fiddle with the settings every single time I need to print a document.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

EA4500 USB 3.0 Drive Compatabiltiy

I picked up an EA4500 about a month ago and so far it works great! I would like to purchase a USB hard drive to plug into it, but noticed the officially supported drive list on the support site seems to be a little out of date. Can anyone recommend a good "current generation" USB hard drive that works with this router? Thanks!

This is the exact USB drive that I use. It's not on the list. It works fine.
I see they have a newer model. My drive is around two years old. I'd probably go for seagate goflex. I only payed $79.00 for it at Best Buy.
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent-Ultra-Portable-External-STAA1000102/dp/B0045371FU
You probably realize that the USB 3.0 is irrelevant when connected to the EA4500 because the read/write speeds of the EA4500 can't take advantage of those speed capabilities. It won't be fast like a NAS. But it's nice to have if you also connect to USB 3.0 computers.
Just make sure you update the firmware on the EA4500 to Smart Wifi firmware 2.1.39 before you set up your permissions on a USB drive. You can go back to classic firmware if you want........but I would highly recommend smart wifi firmware for initial USB drive setup.

When I try to format an external usb drive the progress bar only goes half way then freezes up can anybody help please

When I try to format an external usb drive the progress bar gets to half way then freezes , or stops and what ever time I allow it never gets any futher on , I have to go to the task bar and click quit to get on and the usb drive is not formatted is there a fault with my disk utility program I have updated the system
to lion 10.7.2
Can anybody advise please

Are these new external drives? How are the currently formatted? Have you tried doing this:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

I need help setting Win7 Advanced attributes for the USB drive connected to my EA4500 router

I can drill down to the Permission Entry for [foldername] window for a folder on the USB drive. There I learn that user group Everyone does not have the Full Control permission box checked. When I check the box and then click Apply, I get an Error Applying Security window. If I click Continue there, I get a Windows Security window that says "Unable to save permission changes on [foldername]. Access is denied." with no way out but an OK button.
I have Administrative authority in Win7, but maybe I need to know some Unix voodoo to come to terms with my router-mounted drive. I put the drive on the router to make always available, and I'd like to get it to work. For example, I can't turn the archive bit off for any file or folder on that drive when it's mounted on the router. Not with ATTRIB -A and not with XCOPY /M.
Just to stuff it in my face, XCOPY /M returns a two-line error message for every sub-folder that exists in the target folder:
Access denied
Unable to create directory - foldername
Help! And thanks in advance.
:+)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bill Dennes,
(Solutions/Work-Arounds below this paragraph, but sets up some useful information.)
As for the Security tab, I'm unsure of exactly why it doesn't appear on the tab itself for folders; however, clicking "Advanced -> Change Permissions -> Edit" will display the permissions; although, this doesn't appear to be a part of the problem in a sense. Additionally, “Everyone” always only has read & execute and is also not a part of the issue. To go further with this, the only users that have delete permission are “0” and “root” and since we can delete, we “should” be logged in as one of them and as such have “Full Control.”
As for the drive type, I'm unsure of why it "changes" it from FAT32 to NTFS (probably something to do with how it handles permissions); however, this is also not a part of the issue.
I have a flash drive formatted to FAT32, albeit only a 4GB and on an EA6500 with secure sharing enabled, that it does these both to and "xcopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m" works on it when all files and folders have the A attribute; however, disabling secure sharing makes it fail.
I’ve looked further into this and there are three ways I know of, as of right now, to make copying files with the bat file work for you:
The first way is to enable secure sharing and map the drives using it, once that is done you won’t need to enter the password again and your script will work as you currently have it coded. Given you have no need for the secure sharing, but it’s a simple solution. This is also the only way to be able to modify any attributes, although the only ones I know of that it will accept are R and A.
The second way is to instead use ROBOCOPY with the options /e, /m, and /copy:dt.
For example: "robocopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m /copy:dt"
/e = Copy subdirectories, including empty ones. (or use /S which will not copy empty folders)
/m = Copy only files with the Archive attribute and reset it.
/copy:dt = Copy data and timestamps, does not copy attributes, security, owner info, or auditing info.
The only important option to use is /copy:dt, the others can be replaced with whatever you need. Note that things like Song Author will still get copied as they are a part of the data section. I don’t believe XCOPY supports doing this, and in either case robocopy is a better solution that comes with Windows Vista and up, and can be gotten for those below Vista.
The third way is to add a section to the script to remove attributes from all folders before using xcopy to copy to the NAS, or modify the section that is causing the folders to have the A attribute as xcopy will gladly still copy them with /E or /S enabled.
The issue seems to be that when secure sharing is off, the server refuses attribute changing of folders, which is what is causing XCOPY to fail, as I suspect it attempts to change the attributes on the folders. Similarly, using robocopy without /copy:dt will also fail but gives you “Error 5 … changing file attributes [folder/path] Access is denied”. This is why I suspect that when XCOPY says “unable to create directory” that it is actually trying to change the attributes of the directory. Furthermore, it seems that the reason this works while secure sharing is on is that while it is on, the server pretends to accept the attributes but in reality ignores all attributes besides R. The server then adds the A attribute to all files put onto it, which you can only modify when secure sharing is enabled for some reason. The exception to this is that in either case, any file with the “H” (hidden) attribute, will not be copied, even if explicitly told to copy it. (This is true for both robocopy and xcopy; you also cannot manually add it afterwards.)
Is there an issue with the files on the NAS having the A attribute? If so the only way I currently know of to get rid of it is to enable secure sharing and have the script remove the attribute after copying. For example, when you look at the permissions, the user "0" and “root” have full control as I've previously stated. You can tell Windows to specifically use one of them when mapping the drive, which in turn should give you full control; however, the server still refuses modifying attributes without secure sharing on for some strange unknown reason. Although, I am no "UNIX gearhead," so there may in fact be another way that I do not know of. The only time they are not listed as “Full Control” on my end is when a file was previously marked Read-Only, in which case they all share the same limited control. When I said in the beginning that the permissions are not a part of the problem in a sense, it’s more of that for the general case of what you need to do, they aren’t the problem as long as you don't need the R attribute and having the A isn't an issue, as it seems to be more of the server is refusing attributes even though we should have permission; however, they do appear to be a bit weird and are possibly displaying incorrect when secure sharing is disabled.
I'd like to apologize in advance for any unclear, weirdly stated, or just plain odd things said in this post as I was pulled away to do a bunch of things and ended up editing, adding things, and finishing it late into the night and hope that one of the above is an acceptable resolution to your issue.

LR 1.3.1 crashes when catalog goes offline

Ok, this might be a rare occurrence - most won't ever see it - but when my 18 month old turns off my power strip before I catch him playing with it and my external hard drive goes down (the one with my catalog and photos on it) and LR is open (which it always is)... well let's just say that LR doesn't handle this very gracefully... it generates roughly 50 identical pop-ups saying "method not found: viewAttribute" and finally after clicking OK on all of those another dialog says "Lightroom encountered a problem... There was a problem reading one of the catalogs..." or something like that.
Of course, when I start it back up it has to go through a database integrity check and to its credit there is no corruption. However, it seems like LR should handle a catalog going offline without crashing and having to run an integrity check every single time. What if someone unplugged an external USB storing a live catalog before closing LR... there are other scenarios. Just a thought / something to add to the wish list.
And, yes, in the meantime, after this happening several times to me :) i am moving the power strip somewhere else.

Attaching USB drive causes EX4 to become unresponsive.

Hello, I have tried to setup a usb to nas backup a few times and keep having the same problem. Upon attaching the 4TB usb drive (usb 3.0) to the back of the EX4 the NAS becomes unresponsive. I can no longer access it from the dashboard or the my cloud app on a mobile device. The app says it is offline. The ex4 is on but no drives are spinning. The usb drive is spinning however.
Once, I was able to see the EX4 and the attached USB drive in my file explorer. It showed the USB drive as a share. It said something like "Share 2_1." However the internal folders were not visible. Then the EX4 froze and went unresponsive - which caused me to try and manually shut it down. It did not power down and after making sure no data was being transferred I had to pull the power (as recommended on this forum).
Once I was able to get as far as setup up a USB to NAS backup on the dashboard. I set up the source and destination folders, etc. upon saving the job the EX4 is inaccessible, while the USB drive spins.
What's going on? Is it taking a long time to index the attached drive? Is it not compatible with the USB drive (seagate 4tb external NTFS USB 3.0)?
Any insight or advice would be great. Thanks!

By default the EX4 will scan the attached USB share for media. This process takes all the CPU of the EX4 for long periods of time, and can also lead tot he creation of numerous metadata directories in your attached drive. You should turn this off. In addition, if you use the USB drive for backups, the DEFAULT option for the EX4 is to commence backups when the drive is connected. This setting can be turned off in the GUI setup for the backup jobs. In addiiton, in my experience, NTFS drives take more overhead than EXT formatted drives.
