USB drive not recognised after update

  • I just updated my RPi 4 to the latest Kodi Nexus and Libreelec 11.03. My SSD drive plugged into the USB port was working fine immediately beforehand, but now when I try to connect I get 'Invalid Argument'. If I unplug it the system says it's removed, so the hardware is detected.


    I usually can see the drive remotely from my Ubuntu laptop, but the drive no longer shows there either. I can plug it into the laptop and it works perfectly, so no problem with the drive.


    Can anyone assist?

  • Also, my memory sticks that previously worked fine are no longer accessible, but again, when removed I get the message saying the device is removed. I noticed occasionally I get the message 'Remote Share - couldn't connect to network server' after the 'invalid argument' message, but not every time.

  • I've now got the SSD working again. It was previously NTFS formatted which worked perfectly before, but I reformatted to Ext4 on my Ubuntu machine and when I plugged it into the RPi it mounted it right away. Does 11.x no longer support NTFS?

    I still need my memory sticks to work across platforms, though.

  • LE 11.x supports NTFS, but we switched from the NTFS-3G (FUSE) drivers to the upstream/in-kernel drivers, so there are technical differences and likely new and exciting error messages to discover and understand.
