I connected a USB flash drive to my Flint 2 and then shared it via SMB. I tried both anonymous and user access, both with RW permissions. Since MacOS 26.2, and earlier, when I try to copy a file, I get error -50. The file is created, but it's 0 bytes. I also tried installing SMB4, but that didn't work. Can anyone help? Is this a known issue with Mac? Thanks.
What is the format of the disk? It is best to use Ext4 or apple own file system. Do not use ntfs
Sometimes I connect the USB stick directly to devices that don't read Ext4. So it's very inconvenient not to use ExtFat, which is seen by all devices, Windows PCs and closed devices, not PCs.
Hi, I'm using ExFAT because I have devices on my network that don't support Ext4. It worked perfectly for months, but then I couldn't figure out what was going on and it started giving me problems.
It will work after ext4 try it, maybe something with newer Mac OS versions.
26.2 is the latest version of MacOS. I don't want to use Ext4, and then I'll have to go crazy. Windows won't read it if I want to copy files directly by plugging in the USB stick. I'm currently using MacOS and I don't remember if it formats it to Ext4. It's a huge hassle; Ext4 is only good for Linux users. Can't I install some plugin via SSH on Flint2 to make it read NTFS or ExtFAT correctly, as has always worked for months? I tried installing SMB4, but that didn't solve the problem.
Ext4 is the only way to work smoothly without errors on macOS.
