I want to use the U35WF as a NAS for Time Machine backups of my Apple MacBookPro.
I have been able to install the latest recommended image on my U35WF device, and get everything working (wifi, samba share) but with my drive attached to the USB port on the box. I cannot get the device to recognize the drive when it's attached internally to the SCSI port, which is what I want.
I have tried various combinations of drivers. Does anybody have any guidance on how to proceed?
Thanks for any help!
More details:
-
The drive is a 1TB WD SATA, formatted as ext4
-
lsusb does not "see" the drive
lsusb -t
/: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci-platform/1p, 12M
/: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-platform/1p, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=, Driver=usb-storage, 480M
- when I attach via USB, I can see the partition /dev/sdb1, but
- when I attach via the internal SCSI, I can see /dev/sda but no partition:
root@OpenWrt:/# ls -al /dev/sd*
brw------- 1 root root 8, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/sda
- attempt to (re)format the drive with gdisk fails:
gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.8
Problem opening /dev/sda for reading! Error is 159.
This is the output of dmesg:
