Question closed. Thanks for helping. The problem has to be the 4TB HDD. As another HDD could be mounted it has nothing to do with either OpenPLI 7.1 nor the Formuler1 set topbox.

I used Ubuntu to format the HDD into ext4. With Terminal I changed the privileges and gave read and write access to the parent folder and the child objects within. After that I could copy files to the HDD.

But after connecting it to my Formuler1 the HDD still would not mount. Under OpenPLI 4 the hdd would mount. It is only after updating to OpenPLI 7.1 I can't mount it.

Strange.

I used another HDD, 3TB and formatted it exFAT and named it 'movies'. Connected it to the Formuler1 and it mounted. So I guess it has to be the way the 4TB HDD was formatted.

So I logged in with my Mac to Formuler1 as a server, and could choose between the options 'root', 'EFI' and 'movies'. I had formatted it 'movies' with 1 partition but when logged in as a server there also was a partition named 'EFI'. When I logged in with my Mac to Formuler1 with the 4TB HDD connected I only could choose between the options 'root' and 'movies'. No 'EFI'.

When I formatted the 4TB HDD again I could still not mount it but when logged in as a server there was no EFI.

What is wrong with the 4TB HDD that makes I can't mount it?

Problem solved. I formatted another external HDD to exFAT, copiet a movie file to it and OpenPLi could read it. So the problem is with the other disk.

Thanks very much for your help,

You're right. I connected an exFAT formatted USB stick with a movie on it and it showed itself in 'usb'

The external hdd is ext4 formatted. I could format it again to exFAT and connect it again but there are recordings on it I really would not miss.
