I have a new ROCK installation on an NUC and I was hoping to backup to the network drive attached to my Airport Extreme, but no dice, Roon just keeps saying I’m not authorised to access it no matter what I play around with user names and passwords on the Airport. So I thought why not just plug it into the NUC now and backup directly to it, but no, although it is clearly listed as a drive attached to ROCK when I select it and press backup I get a ‘Failed… Backup directory not available’ type error message.
I did use this drive for moving my music files to the internal storage by attaching it to the NUC and using a third party sync tool (OSX kept coming up with ‘error 36’ messages?) so that worked ok?
We recommend USB drives connected to ROCK be formatted exFAT if you requires compatibility, or EXT4 if you don’t.
HFS/HFS+ (also known as “Mac OS Journaled”) is read-only, which means that Nucleus will not be able to make changes or store new music/backups on the USB drive.
Glad I salvaged that old 1Tb drive and bought a new enclosure and all! Oh well it was always formatted for the AirPort Extreme so no harm done - I’ll have to try and copy stuff off it to somewhere, reformat and copy it back again! Thanks @dylan I should have checked that
