This was fun trying to find a solution for the past hour to another problem that needs to be addressed in the next firmware update.
GL-MT6000 Firmware 4.6.8 op21
Mac computers, iPads, iPhones, do not see files on a hard drive that is attached to a router via USB port, when a hard drive is formatted as exFAT .
Files can be seen when a hard drive is directly attached to a Mac computer.
Here is a solution from a year ago, but has yet to be permanently implemented in to firmware.
To GL engineers, please add this solution as a permanent fix.
Cheers.
I’ve attached the settings that work very well for me. This was after a lot of forums and reading. Has worked well now for months. My drive is formatted as ext4, maybe that is the difference here. Or that root user is not checked. But alas, I share incase it helps.
vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
fruit:aapl = yes
fruit:nfs_aces = no
fruit:model = TimeCapsule
fruit:wipe_intentionally_left_blank_rfork = yes
fruit:delete_empty_adfiles = yes
Settings per share:

Global se…
After another hour of trying to make this work, it partially works.
Im able to see the files on the hard drive but im only seeing about 1/4 of the total files on the drive.
Quick update;
I installed firmware 4.6.6 OP24 and the issue is not present. I didn't have to download any pluggins or make any additional configurations. Will this be resolved in OP21 firmware?
Thanks.
