file change via SMB
AnsweredHello,
I have connected a USB Stick /USB SSD to my MDC module in my NAD C388.
I can see the files in the explorer of Windows 11 but am not able to copy new files via SMB to the USB device. Is there a way to copy new files to the device while it's sticking directly in the MDC slot?
Thx in advance
Stephan

Hi Stephen
It is a limitation of the file format. If the drive was originally formatted as NTFS (Windows) or exFAT, it is read-only. If it is formatted as FAT32 or on a Linux box as ext4 it is read-write. This is because exFAT and NTFS are proprietary formats and have only been able to release open-source code to read, not write.

I think I read somewhere the USB device is mounted read only.

I have not tested it but if the USB stick is formatted to Ext 4 then you can write when it shared in Server mode.

Thank you Tony,
the USB Stick was already formatted as FAT32. The SSD was NTFS formatted. At least it should have worked with the stick but with both drives I get the message (translated): "you must obtain the necessary permissions from Unix User\root."

I can’t write to FAT32 either, not got around to trying Ext 4 yet.
