Title: Problem with mac osx filesystems but not NTFS?
Post by: tinvi on November 29, 2012, 07:16:42 PM

Hi all,

First my problem: Accessing a usb stick/hdd formated with a mac filesystem through a dir-825 router.

If i try to access a usb drive formated with FAT or NTFS i have no problems at all, however if I reformat the same drive to any of the "Mac OSX Extended (Journaled/encrypted,..)" filesystems all i can see in the shareport software is something called "EFI" with only 196MB free space. (dont know what this is)

I'we tried looking for similar questions, but i could not find any.
Does anyone know of a solution or something i could try?

I also tried the silex SX Virtual Link 3.11.1 software, but this could only see the router but not the usb drives.

My gear: I have a DIR-825 RevC with firmware 3.0 (Lastest version) and im using the lastest shareport version i could find (4.2.0R1). Im running a macbook air with  OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

Thanks for your help

Not sure if SP supports any OSX proprietary file systems other than FAT32 and NTFS.
I also use OSX 10.6 and 10.8 and all my drives are formatted for FAT32 or NTFS file systems.

Thats not good, but would explain why it cant see it.
Ill have to look into other Silex software then.. Ill post something if I find a solution.
