Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2018 15:55 Post subject: NAS lost when I power cycle the router RESOLVED
Netgear R6300V2, DD-WRT-v3_0 r37305, self-powered (external power pack) 800G usb hard drive that was formatted as EXT4 on a PC
When I power cycle the router my NAS doesn’t work, and no network shows up on my PC. The only way I can get the NAS to work again is to log in to the router and disable the USB (and apply changes) then enable USB (and apply changes).
Questions:
1) Is this normal?
2) Is there a recommended procedure to power down a
router that has a NAS?
3) Is there any way I can remedy the loss of NAS with
scripts I can put in the router? If you have any
ideas at all I will try them all.
4) What is the best windows program to read (possibly
write) to an EXT4 formatted drive?
Thanks in advance,
Glen.

Well the no network on pc part doesn't make any sense unless it connects on the 2.4 wireless band
Some hard drives need to be re-loaded after startup to be seen after a reboot
This can automatically be done in the Administration/Comands tab enter in box at top and then ticking Save Startup
Code:
sleep 60
stopservice samba3
startservice samba3
If you can't wait 60 seconds??...30 should work
For windows to access/read/write to it
Just properly set up a Samba Server on router and properly configire windows to see it
Windows will read/write to it as if it was vfat or ntfs without any issue
And/or
If using a <Kong> build use FileZilla ..preferred by me for several reasons...or WinSCP
And/or
If using a BrainSlayer build you have to use WinSCP...because it can downgrade itself to use the older/less robust SCP protocol....BS builds have a dropbear with broken SFTP
To format and/or partition a drive to any file type in windows... I've had much success using Mini Partition Tool Free...on both hard drives and USB sticks
Hope any of this helps..... _________________ Location 1

Your help fixed the problem with the hard drive going away after the router power cycle. I tested it and tested it even with a different hard drive that is powered by the USB port and your fix was solid. I usually (but not always) would have to reboot the (Windows 7) PC so as it could see the router network again but that is OK as most of my PC's aren't always on.
I found this introduction to routers very interesting. What is the best source for all the dd-wrt router commands with syntax explanations? As an example I found sdparm by accident by I had no idea it even existed.
All the topics that begin with "Moved:" in bold are topics moved from this forum to the Broadcom Forum.
Hummm.....well my bad then...and I apologize for the sarcasm
Many many years of reading/learning here and the curve keeps on curving
Though it is rather strange that one can still post a reply to a thread that...that is no longer here?...nore does it say where it was Moved to?....and it's still here??
Can you see where my confusion initiated from? _________________ Location 1

Could you amend the thread title to contain "FIXED" or "RESOLVED"
