New firmware, slow USB load

Hi all,

I’ve just upgraded my WD TV Live with the latest firmware, everything seems to be fine, but I’m facing a strange problem: connecting an external usb drive takes too long to load.

When I connect a external usb drive the system takes something like 6 to 8 minutes to meke the device selectable and browsable.

With previous versions of the firmware the drive was immediateley visible and browsable. Is this a known issue? Are there workarounds?

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I saw this post just right now:

So can you confirm that the only solution is to repair an (even) damaged file system? What if the filesystem was already checked (as in my case)?

Thanks again,
