Make sure the hard drive is properly connected: Check if the power and data cables of the hard drive are securely connected. If using a USB external hard drive, make sure the USB port is working correctly. 2. Rescan the hard drive in OpenWrt: Log in to the OpenWrt web interface or SSH terminal, and execute the following command to rescan the hard drive:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\">&nbsp;&nbsp;#&nbsp;\u91cd\u65b0\u626b\u63cfSATA\u63a5\u53e3\u7684\u786c\u76d8<p><\/p><p><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;block&nbsp;detect&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;\/etc\/config\/fstab<\/p><p><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;#&nbsp;\u91cd\u65b0\u626b\u63cfUSB\u63a5\u53e3\u7684\u786c\u76d8<\/p><p><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;block&nbsp;mount<\/p><\/pre>\n<p>This will reload the hard drive and update the `\/etc\/config\/fstab` file. 3. Check if the hard drive is correctly mounted: Use the following command to check if the hard drive is correctly mounted:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\">&nbsp;&nbsp;df&nbsp;-h<\/pre>\n<p>You should be able to see the mounting point and available space of the hard drive. Check if the hard drive is formatted correctly: If the hard drive is new or has not been formatted before, you need to format it in order to use it. Format the hard drive using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\">&nbsp;&nbsp;#&nbsp;\u683c\u5f0f\u5316\u4e3aext4\u6587\u4ef6\u7cfb\u7edf<p><\/p><p><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mkfs.ext4&nbsp;\/dev\/sdX<\/p><p><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;#&nbsp;\u683c\u5f0f\u5316\u4e3aNTFS\u6587\u4ef6\u7cfb\u7edf\uff08\u9700\u8981\u5b89\u88c5ntfs-3g\u8f6f\u4ef6\u5305\uff09<\/p><p><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mkfs.ntfs&nbsp;\/dev\/sdX<\/p><\/pre>\n<p>`sdx` is the name of your hard drive device. 5. Verify if the hard drive is correctly mounted to the correct location by using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\">&nbsp;&nbsp;cat&nbsp;\/etc\/config\/fstab<\/pre>\n<p>Ensure that the mount point and device name of the hard drive are correct. If the above methods do not solve the problem, please provide more detailed information, such as your hard drive type, OpenWrt device model, the version of OpenWrt you are using, etc., to better assist you in resolving the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are unable to access the hard drive added to OpenWrt, you can try the following solutions: 1.
