Checking the USB Drive

While USB drives are very reliable, under rare
circumstances, there may be file system or data integrity
issues that need repair. This usually happens when the drive
has been disconnected without unmounting it, or when a
power failure may have shut the system down improperly.

The Magnia SG30 provides an option to check and possibly
repair any damage to the USB HDD file system. To access
this option, go to the Administrative Web interface, select the
System tab, and click on the USB Drive menu item. If the
drive is mounted, click the Unmount option.

The USB Drive screen displayed when the drive is
unmounted displays a “Check” button. Click this button to
perform a file system inspection and repair. Depending on
the size of the HDD, and the amount of data on it, this
operation could take some time.
