I was wondering if someone looked at the logs that I posted and found something that explains the cause of the repeated rescanning. I have tried to scroll through the logs myself, but wasnāt anywhere.
Recently I notice that every time I run fsck on the USB drive, it says, āWARN: volume was not unmounted cleanlyā, even after connecting the drive to a mac laptop and running first aid through Disk Utility. Could that be a clue to the rescan problem?
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
exfatfsck 1.1.0
