[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Plug the usb drive into the router & download files via Transmission.
2. A sudden power cut (Maybe not sure)
3. Has happened 2 times.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: View the files in the usb drive.

But upon opening the drive its empty. 
I have a progran that allows me to read and write ext3 formatted drives in 
windows 7, It works fine.

You must check filesystem on your hdd.

Also, if you use paragon's software for formatting your hdd, the router may not 
see it. You must use Linux (or router) for formatting the hdd to EXT filesystem.

The router was able to see the filesystem properly before using the same 
filesystem.
Right now I can write to the USB drive with no problems.
Only the data that was there before is nowhere to be seen.

Attaching 2 Pictures describing the problem in more detail.
1. How it looks in my explorer

I just used Transmission on the USB drive a day back and it was working 
properly.

I think I solved it.
Ran an fsck using the router, it fixed the journal error.

Thank you for all the help :)
You can close this now.
