Jerry,

Thanks.  I always thought that there was a moderator who had to approve the posting.

I don't think it is a timing issue, the flash stick remains in the router.  There is one other point that I forgot to mention. In order to mount the share on Linux, I need the following mount command:

mount -t cifs -o sec=ntlm,vers=1.0,password=P1stach10 //router/USB_Storage /dosd

Is the fact that it is using V1 of NTLM the problem?  I though that was only a security layer.

I guess I'm asking if this is a known problem, and that either a new router, or using dd-wrt might fix it.

First, we have seen this post. Sometimes you won't see your own posts. Go

So as I understand it you are writing to a flash drive connected to the
router. Could it be that the flash drive was removed before the file was
fully written. Should not matter if the flash drive is FAT32 or NTFS. Could
be simply a timing issue.

I've submitted this twice without seeing it posted.  Perhaps I should
have been more specific, the Netgear V6300V2 router is Linux based, so
this is a Linux compatibility issue.


I have a Netgear V6300V2 router that I am trying to use a small file
server in addition to as Wifi router.  The problem is that when I am on
Windows 10 (unfortunately) and I edit a particular Excel file (.xlsx),
the file gets corrupted.  I don't have the same problem with that file
on a local drive, or editing it with LibreOffice on Linux.  After
getting the corruption, I can copy a fresh file over from Windows and
once again, Linux is okay, Windows corrupts.  After that, the next fresh
copy is corrupt on arrival.


I've seen this with several different flash drives, all formatted
FAT32.  ExFAT isn't supported, and I haven't tried NTFS yet.  I could
also try EXT4.  Any ideas on why this is happening?
