Running the latest Beta build: openwrt-axt1800-4.2.3-0801-1690857361 After connecting a USB disk to the router, Network Storage continues to show “No Device Detected”. Looking in the System log I can see the device recognised, but still not showing in Network Storage. ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/2X/f/f87c0dae6967cf1aafbf5a910b1b91054656a3cc.jpeg) Sorry about the screenshot, but you can see that the Export Logs button has disappeared. Cheers. ---

How odd. It looks like there are two partitions on the USB drive (`sda1` & `sda2`). That may have something to do with it. You should really check via SSH so you can get at the logs via `logread` &/or `dmesg` & check status via `lsusb` & `blkid`, etc. See the following for a pertinent guide: > [@HOW-TO: Script: List My OPKGs (to a file for backup)](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/how-to-script-list-my-opkgs-to-a-file-for-backup/30963): > > Keywords: backup, opkg, plugins, list, howto, script, shell, luci, restore, ipk, tarball, conf Description List user’s (your) installed packages, writing them to a text file that can be used to reinstall the binaries of what a user manually installed. The resulting .list file will be use to opkg install to pull from the feeds. That is done with two commands in one execution. The GL GUI doesn’t feature a backup function. Creating & restoring a backup achieve (.tar.gz, aka tarball) of all your… ---

I also tried with a second USB drive with a single partition, same result. > [@bring.fringe18](#): > > You should really check via SSH so you can get at the logs via `logread` &/or `dmesg` Is that really going to show anything different from what I’ve already posted from the system log. Answer, it didn’t while I was ssh’d into the router. > [@bring.fringe18](#): > > check status via `lsusb` & `blkid` Don’t know about blkid as I didn’t try that, but lsusb isn’t part of the image. Nor is (c)fdisk which I also tried to see what the underlying OS thought about the disks. Cheers. ---

What filesystems are supported. Cheers. ---

> [@EddieA](#): > > Don’t know about blkid as I didn’t try that, but lsusb isn’t part of the image. Right; sorry. It’s been a while. Try `opkg update && opkg install usbutils` > [@EddieA](#): > > What filesystems are supported. ExFAT & NTFS, IIRC. I’m currently using a uSD w/ exfat ATM. Something like F2FS requires pulling fr the repos, of course. What shows up in LuCI → System → Mount Points (GL GUI → System → Advanced Settings)? ---

Finally got it to work, by using a new freshly formatted drive. I tried with both ext4 and NTFS and both appeared to work. Now I have a disk that connects reliably, I’m going to experiment with the multi-partition to see how that is handled. Cheers. ---
