Since the ASUS will be mounting the drive and sharing the data, the ASUS
may require particular filesystems (I'm imagining exfat or fat32). What
filesystem is on the drive at present?
Also, is it a DOS partition table or GPT? Might also be relevant.
Thanks for beating me to this. :-) :-)
FWIW, ASUS doesn't seem to keep their compatibility charts up to date.
I found
https://event.asus.com/2009/networks/disksupport/ but this is from 2009 and the
RT-ARCH13
isn't listed. But the similar product RT-ARCH15 is. And it shows that ext4 is NOT
supported.
