The TG582n can use a USB storage device with a single partition formatted as FAT32. (''Your author has not tried anything else yet'')
The TG582n can use a USB storage device with partitions formatted as FAT32 or EXT2/3/4. There are some restrictions - with the following disk
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 63 65529134 65529072 31.3G c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdb2 65529135 229376069 163846935 78.1G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb3 229376070 397148229 167772160 80G 83 Linux
/dev/sdb4 397148230 625142447 227994218 108.7G 83 Linux
content sharing sees all partitions except the NTFS one (/dev/sdb2), but doesn't correctly read the EXT4 partition (/dev/sdb4). Whether this
is because of partition size, or start sector, or EXT4-ness, is TBD. (/dev/sdb3 is EXT3).

are under a share named 'Media'.

== File system structure ==

On a USB storage device which has (at some point) been a managed partition, the file system comprises directories
named
* Settings
* Shared
* Media
* Media/Pictures
* Media/Music
* Media/Movies

There's a file 'Settings/manageddisk_marker' which contains a date/time string. The presence/absence/contents of this file doesn't accurately reflect the 'managed disk' status of the disk - the status has to be changed via the web UI.
