[atlas] V3 Probe: USB Flash Drive Filesystem Corrupted

Hi Simon,

First thing that comes to mind to me, do you maybe have a power problem? If the unit receives just enough power to boot the base TP-Link, but not to power the USB stick this may trigger these problems. Would you be able to boot the unit with a different power supply (try 5W at the least or 10W), to see if this makes a difference?

Speed shouldn’t be much of an issue, USB to my knowledge is backwards compatible.

Cheers,

Michel
