    Hey all, since the described issue has also plagued me since the release of LE 11 I would like to share my observations too.

    By my experience the HDDs are working fine as long as you don't perform any kind of write/delete action using the built in file manager. Once I do that (mostly to delete obsolete media files) and disconnect the drive I have to perform an error check on my Windows PC before it is recognized by LE again.

    Here's a log documenting it:

    Is there really no way that LE could handle things like before? Unfortunately formatting the HDDs with a different file system is no option to me ... Thanks for any kind of support!


    EDIT before even posting: Here's another try safely removing the device I deleted a file from before switching it off and on again (the faulty sdb2 drive still being active):

    This time the drive I deleted a file from (sde2) is recognized upon next startup. And just to prove my point I switched off the drives whithout safely removing them first and voila sde2 doesn't get recognized any more (the follwoing log contains the data from quick husky too):

    So maybe this is the resolution to our problems? There might have been a change between LE 11 and 12 though as I faintly remember trying the safe removal before without success.

    Sorry that I can't provide any solutions but I would like to point out that the excact same combination of LE and keyboard is still working for me.

    Sorry for quoting myself, couldnt find any editing option ... Anyway, that's what i forgot to mention:

    I am using the provided Logitech USB dongle which makes the whole thing work out of the box without even having to enable bluetooth within LE. Maybe that's why it is still working for me ...
