Greetings,

I have a 3.5' 3tb hdd lying around so I've formatted it in xfs, inserted it into a external case, connected it to my wdr-4300 via usb and used the guides to install it and configure it.

now I have two issues:

1. when I try to define it under mount points, the drive isn't visible but I can mount it manually, thus the auto mounter doesn't works and I get to this strange state
   

2. the hdd seems to keep disconnecting every 1000+ seconds, see log: https://bpaste.net/show/29208131c23d

how can I fix this issues?

"mountd/automount only supports ext3 and ext4 (and probably squashfs)."

thanks, that answers my first issue, what about the second issue?

still I'll try with ext4, maybe that is the issue somehow

issue still persists with ext4, will try on a different machine to eliminate case or cable issues

tried on a different machine (higher kernel version), this looks like a kernel bug

anyone?

have you installed the needed kmod-fs-*?

Is the drive GPT vs MBR?  At 3TB I think it might be GPT

yes, see:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg list-installed | grep kmod-fs
kmod-fs-exportfs - 3.18.20-1
kmod-fs-ext4 - 3.18.20-1
kmod-fs-nfs - 3.18.20-1
kmod-fs-nfs-common - 3.18.20-1
kmod-fs-nfsd - 3.18.20-1

the drive is a 3.5' 3tb hdd partitioned in gpt inside a special case.
I am able to load the mount so gpt isn't the issue.
my issues is that the usb gets reset after a hour or two and that causes the drive to disappear and reappear.

from what I can see this is a kernel issue with usb, I'm seeing the same behavior on my steamer which runs kernel 3.18.10 with a 500gb usb hdd.
