Thanks for an honest assessment of the problems with USB support in DD-WRT. I must take issue, though - recall that I said that NTFS was the ONLY format that appeared to work. It certainly wasn't my first - or second or third etc - option! It's all too easy to state that 'an unsupported partition is nothing to be concerned about' but it sure creates a great deal of uncertainty. Why hasn't this been mentioned before? It was certainly never a problem with earlier builds. And best of all - all my drive formatting was done using GParted on a Linux Mint computer. Not a Windows machine in sight!! May I gently suggest that the problem doesn't appear to be 'with Samba and NTFS' - more the entire USB infrastructure!

There is a wiki for this device, no need to leave this thread open except for reference as linked in the wiki. Not going to have a thread grow to 200 pages for no logical reason. This device has never been given Official Support because nobody ever did the router support detection homework or donated hardware.
