Hope you can help. A couple of days ago I updated Volumio on my RPi 4 to the latest version. Of course that may be entirely coincidental, but prior to that I was perfectly able to access a collection of FLACs on a USB drive attached to the Pi. The 2TB drive is partitioned and formatted as ext4 via Ubuntu. Since the update however Volumio will not let me browse to it in Music Library (the screen is blank). I can manually mount the drive to the Pi and see that the files are all there through the terminal. I’ve re-flashed Volumio and the situation didn’t change. There are no reported errors on the drive.
I’ve searched the forum, but can find no solutions.

I was thinking there was probably some error with the drive, but I get no errors reported when I check it in Ubuntu. Earlier I did reformat it and copy over the files again, but that (clearly) has made no difference. What fs type should I be using - previously it has been fine with ext3/ext4. I’m not a Linux wiz so I’m struggling here…
fdisk on the Pi reports:

As I say - I can mount the drive manually onto the Pi and all seems fine - it’s just that Volumio doesn’t seem to want to play ball.
Does this give any clues as to what I might do to fix things? Thanks again for your help.
So,I have the latest Volumio release installed and this is still a problem
I tried the drive on a Moode installation and that worked OK. Ubuntu does not report any errors with the drive (it’s relatively new), formatted as ext4. All been OK on earlier releases.
