fat32

I already know the answer… I think…

But can I or can I not format mybooklive to fat32 using mac osx.???

it is not possible on a mac using the ethernet cable with the drive connected directly.

can I do this over the network?

is there a fix??

no you cannot do it as you describe. it is a SERVER, not a slave drive.

It is never necessary to format a NAS to a filesystem specific to the client.   The NAS is in control of its own filesystem, and the user shouldn’t even need to know what that is.

By saying “is there a fix,” you seem to imply that something is broken.   What is the issue you’re trying to address?
