Code: Select all

cd /share/1100/Volume_2
find

Code: Select all

root@lacie5big:/ # cd /share/1100/Volume_2
root@lacie5big:/share/1100/Volume_2 # find

Nope, I have no mac, can make a partition on a usb stick but not format it. Must see is someone with a mac pc can do that for me

Hi fvdw

With hfsprogs tools you should be able to format an hfs partition

I can always run some test for you if you need...

--edit-- for info this isn't OS X related as I experience the same issue accessing it from win10 and MS-edge installed on VirtualBox. You should get the same issue testing it from your windows machine.

I used a tool from paragon to convert ntfs to hfs+ partition

this is the result

Code: Select all

root@fvdwsl-5big2:/share/1000/hfsplus_1 # uname -a
Linux fvdwsl-5big2.local 3.14.2 #14 PREEMPT Sun Jan 17 20:40:19 CET 2016 armv5tel unknown unknown GNU/Linux

/dev/sej1 on /share/1000/hfsplus_1 type hfsplus (ro,noatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8)


And I can read the content,

so no problem except that it is was not added as shared folder in the samba server when I booted with the usb stick in the slot.
When booting without usb stick and inserting it after boot then I can see it in samaba server and also the content

samba-hfsplus share-usb.JPG

So my conclusion, the reason for your problem must be something on your usb disk, no correctly formatted or partitioned ??? :dontknow

PS note that hfsplus is mounted as readonly (it is the standard way I read on the internet as writing from linux on a hfs+ partition is not without risks

[macdalor]

@fvdw and you can see the sub-folders from the backup screen within the web interface?!

[macdalor]

@fvdw @Jocko

ok, something weird which might help investigate my issue: I usually logon to the web interface using the IP address because it doesn't work using the hostname (lacie5big), this logs me on fine giving me a blue web interface with a complete left hand menu and all available drives (including the USB one) within the backup section. Now, I just tried login on using "lacie5big.local" and it returns a yellow web interface with only "system management / Backup and web tools" options on the left hand menu. And I can only see the shares created on the NAS from the backup section.

Any clue?
