ok so i don't have the system here at work but it is a zotac mini-pc about 4 years old with a Celeron processor and an external 1 tb drive from western digital.
here is the log file
hi all - any insights here or still collecting info . . . thx.
Hello
I have the problem since a fresh install on a new SDCard of the v11.0, 1 USB HDD of 4TB is no longer displayed.
I have 3 USB HDDs that work fine in v10.0.4.
In version v11 the 4TB is not displayed when I disconnect it from the USB, I get the message that the HDD has been removed.
Any idea what I can do !
Here is the log: http//ix.io/4rq4
The disk needs to be checked with Windows.
Hi mglae
Is there anything we can do to avoid this from happening as it looks like it's a new issue that never used to happen before with LE..looks like something is corrupting HDD's..
Mario77 In LE11 the NTFS driver changed from user space ntfs-3g to in kernel ntfs3. The behavior may be different.
General recommendation: use NTFS for Windows only and native file systems like ext4 for Linux.
In windows checked, a few errors found and fixed, now everything works.
Thanks for the help !

so the solution would be to offload the content and create a new volume with ext4? don't understand the windows part as i thought this was a linux distribution (libreelec) - thanks

Yes, this should result in better experience.

Does windows read ext4?

No. Fat32 and exfat may be a compromise for exchange.

ok so i tested the drive with paragon hard disk manager and some 'minor problems' discovered but nothing big . . . i run windows and can move the files to another disk but if windows doesn't talk to ext4, then how to write back? i downloaded hirens boot disk and can boot to that and see if a tool can talk both ntfs and ext4 so i can move the contents - any other suggestions welcome.
I have 4 (4x6TB) NTFS disks connected to one of mi Pi4's and i have had zero problems so far (not even on nightlys before LE11).

Are they physically connected via USB. Is there a USB powered hub involved.
Connected via USB, yes. No hub, and i boot from SSD, no slow sdcard. And Pi original power supply.

so no go . . . moved the files within the windows environment to another usb drive and all ok . . . booted into hirens and connected both drives and used diskgenius to delete and repartition the former ntfs drive to ext4 - all was done ok. diskgenius can 'see' the target drive (as it partitioned it and formatted it) and the source (ntfs) but cannot move the files for some reason. how are other people doing this? do i need a live bootable linux usb with tools to do this? will that be able to see and act on ntfs and ext4? thanks.

I never did see the point dragging a Windows ntfs formatted drive to a Linux party. Asking for trouble. Windows users find it difficult to “cut the chord”.
If as you say you have four drives ntfs formatted successfully attached to your Pi4 other users in difficulty should try and replicate your setup. That would be a good starting point to resolving their issue.
