I have Lacie Network Space vs2 and trying to use a USB disk (powered by the USB cable) as a backup disk.
I have created a few CRON jobs and using mirror backup option.

THe problem is that the USB disk disappear after a while and only come back if I disconnect it to the Network Space.
I have tried to use NTFS, FAT32 and EXT4 format options.

I have also tried to remove spin down.

The disk is connected on the front of the Network Space.

What can be the problem?

Hi paros,

you can see the dmesg output if there are some issues with the usb device sdb( or sdc,... several remounts).

Maybe there is also a power issue if you have a big disk
