I'd like some help on this too. I just got myself a Toshiba USB3 3TB drive but it doesn't seem to be recognised properly by my MyBook World Edition (blue rings). It was originally formatted in NTFS so I formatted it again as ext3, but still no luck. It doesn't show up under Drive Management on the Shared Storage Manager, nor does anything show up under /shares/external/
I even tried mounting it manually:
mount /dev/sdb /shares/external/
…only to get the following error:
mount: Mounting /dev/sdb on /shares/external/ failed: Invalid argument
The weird thing is, I think it has recognised it to a certain extent. My reasoning for this is contained in a newly created file on the MyBook "/var/run/block/sdb", which contains:
set -e
rmdir /shares/external/ToshibaExternal-USB-3.0
sed '/sdb/d' -i /etc/external-drives
set -e
rmdir /shares/external/ToshibaExternal-USB-3.0
sed '/sdb/d' -i /etc/external-drives
set -e
rmdir /shares/external/ToshibaExternal-USB-3.0
sed '/sdb/d' -i /etc/external-drives
cd /usr/mionet/ ; /usr/mionet/mionetd notify ; cd -
rm /var/run/block/sdb
Note the numerous references to "ToshibaExternal-USB-3.0".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
