So nobody can fix this problem but Buffalo.

However, I'm not able to pursue making it work privately, as per your statements here, changes to the firmware will void the warranty. If the hardware supports FAT32, and it does, it will support NTFS. So the shiny new Buffalo router with 64mb of RAM and 256 mb of flash certainly ought to be able to do this. I have already asked someone to help me with enabling it on my old Linksys WRTSL54GS router (8mb RAM, 32mb flash)which I just upgraded with the free version of DD-WRT. But once that's done, IT DOES WORK, and has been working for a couple of years now.

Their forums and wikis have instructions and user reports on how to do it, IF you can get through the Linux to install the packages and create the startup script to run at boot. On that line, I did some research, and you CAN mount NTFS drivers on a DD-WRT router. So the drive - and the rest of the world- is going to stay the way it is, and Buffalo is going to have to adapt to that. It's Buffalo's choice to ship a USB NAS device that doesn't work with the most common consumer storage file system out here, which is popular for the exact reason that it works perfectly for all of our needs. It's not the rest of the world that's the problem here. Not to mention that reformatting a portable drive to a file system that doesn't work with Windows is just unacceptable anyways. Like everyone else who bought a portable drive, I used it to store stuff, so I already have hundreds of gigs of backups on the drive and no other place to put them. But if it doesn't support the necessary file sizes, and that makes the NAS pretty much useless.Īfter reading all of the other users' comments on this issue, and the responses I've seen from moderators, I'm going to say that before you get started on the whole 'XFS is better' thing, reformatting to a different file system is not an option. I thought this router would be ideal since it's got wireless-N for accessing backups and other files, and gigabit Ethernet for doing the backups themselves, so I could use the drive for more than one computer without trucking it all over. A single OS/programs backup can easily go over 20gb compressed, and that means that you must have NTFS to use the drive for backup purposes.

I'm very disappointed to see that it doesn't support NTFS, the file system that virtually ALL external hard drives are shipped with, including my $70 500gb storage drive. Hi, I'm a new owner of a wzr-hp-g300nh router, and I have to jump in on this.
