I want to add a usb drive for backup purposes. But nas4free will not recognize the drive. My Centos and Fedora boxes both recognize the usb drive, but when I install it on the nas4free box, nothing shows up. In fact I cant get NAS4FREE to recognize any external USB drive.
I was using FreeNAS and had no problems with USB drives. Has nas4free decided not to allow use of USB drives?
Thanks

Re: Attach a USB Drive
Hi,
I have the feeling you plug in a USB3 thumbdrive. This is a complete new developed system compared to USB2, you need a 100% match from hardware, os, driver and all involved interfaces. Many people here did not have the matching combination, so USB3 was not running.
My suggestion would be to plug in the usb stick into your client pc and sync data from your NAS by network, use rsync for unix-like systems or patchsync for Windows http://www.cockos.com/pathsync/
