I already posted this in jun loader forum but, thought it should be a separate thread. I am on DSM6 update 9 on Baremetal PC.
A 2TB NTFS formatted external HDD (Seagate BUP slim) when connected shows as blank in file Explorer. I can create folders in it, but none will be "visible" in the usbshare. You can confirm if the HDD is read by creating a new folder which already exist and DSM will not create the folder with existing folder name.
But they DO get created and shown properly in DSM if I format the HDD as ext4. Why is this so? Cant seem to find an explanation. Can anybody help?
I do need it to be formatted as NTFS so that I can use it in windows also.
