For past year, I’m running RPI with usb flash drive for booting and a external WD 2.5” 5gb for recordings. When power cycling, I would get a solid red light on my pi. To solve this, I disconnect the ext drive and boot it up, then reconnect the drive.
Fast forward to tonight…I power cycled due to lagging video and after reconnecting the external drive, it looks like it is not recognizing the drive anymore. I disabled the dvr feature and tried to restart that, but the drive can’t be found.
I’ve submitted support diagnostic report.
