Hello I upgraded my N2100 to the latest firmware and have no problems.
When I connect my USB drive, it is shown under the storage --> disk. I see raid 1 and USB.
However I can't read the contents of my USB drive. Has anybody an idea how this could be fixed or what the problem is.
Thanks.
P.

Has the USB drive ever worked under the older firmware?
When you write you can't read the contents of your USB drive, do you mean you can't see the contents when you go to "Webdisk" --> "usbhdd" --> "usb" --> "1" ? Or do you mean you see your USB drive share on your computer?

Hi,
I think he has got the same problem than I. He cant se the USBHDD in the Webdisk interface because he cant edit this ACL list. And when I switches to public on, I cant see the disk or any content in the webdisk interface. Some ugly bug.

I have worked around the inability to add ACL's to usbhdd by going in via SSH and chown'ing the group on usbhdd to other than "root" (e.g. if you set yourself up a group say "myusergroup" in Thecus GUI you could change so group owner was "smbmyusergroup" -> smb added to group name for Samba. I then chmod'd to give write access at the group level.
Also - if you are more adventurous you can edit the smb.conf (it is in \raid\sys\) so you can share the usbhdd as another name - so e.g. I have added the following
#----
[USBDrives]
comment = USB attached drives
browseable = yes
guest only = no
path = /raid/usbhdd
map acl inherit = yes
inherit acls = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
force create mode = 0000
inherit permissions = Yes
map archive = yes
map hidden = yes
recursive = yes
#----
That shares them as USBDrives
Beware that setting ACL's on this "manually added" entry via the GUI seems to hang some bits of the Thecus - it seems to iterate through everything on the drive setting something or other - it might have eventually returned but I am not a patient man!
For the braver out there if you add something like
#----
[Everything]
comment = The whole system
browseable = yes
guest only = no
path = /
map acl inherit = yes
inherit acls = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
force create mode = 0000
inherit permissions = Yes
map archive = yes
map hidden = yes
#---
Then you get a share of the whole file system and can browse through exploring the n2100 via explorer - but do take care!
...
I have just tested the ACL's via GUI on my USBDrives "clone" of the usbhdd and managed to set them up fine with no disks actually attached - I think it goes barmy when you do have a drive attached and set them as it is trying to recur the rights down the whole USB disk (of course I might try unticking recursive)
