Since my district reinstalled my K12LTSP servers (version 5), my staff can no longer "see" files on their thumb drives, as if the drives have no data. I confirmed that staff could see and use those very same files before this reinstall.
I thought maybe there was something not chosen in the packages like "enable reading of NTFS", however, aren't thumb drives basic FAT?
One additional piece of information; the district made a custom kernel that includes proprietary nic drivers. I thought maybe when the new kernel was recompiled that something happened with the ability to see NTFS or..??
Any troubleshooting tips or steps on how to fix this would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
