Hi,
I have a WD My Book connected to my DS415play in one of the rear USB ports. I'm on DSM 6.2.4-25556.
It was working fine until recently and then I lost the share. At the moment I have the drive plugged into my laptop and it's working fine, but I want to get it back as a shared drive on the Synology.
When I check External Devices on the control panel I see the drive but it says it's <Not Shared>. Under File System Type it says "Install exFAT". I clicked that and I would have to buy it for $3.99. Given exFAT should be supported in a product as expensive as this I find that annoying, but I'm prepared to buy it. But it then tells me exFAT will be free in DSM V 7. That is so screwed up I don't even know where to begin.
I notice in the release notes that "exFAT stabiliy" was improved (I never had an issue, but hey), so did they stop the free support working? That would be insane if they are giving it free with V7.
The thing is, this was working fine and I never switched off sharing. Any other thoughts on why it stopped working? Did Synology stop exFAT support until V7 is released? I know I did not buy the extension when I got it to work previously.
Cheers,
Geoff
