- Cluster size : 4096 bytes
Current volume size: 5000963027456 bytes
ISTM that the router is trying to read the NTFS volume's $BITMAP metafile into its memory, but doesn't have enough capacity for it.
AIUI, the $BITMAP assigns 1 bit for each cluster, and this bit indicates whether that cluster is in use (bit = 1) or free (bit = 0).
The total amount of memory required for this is (8 bits per byte) …
- 5000963027456 / 4096 / 8 = 152617280 bytes
ISTM that the solution may be to reformat the drive with an increased cluster size. Try 8KB, 16KB, 32KB until the router is happy.

Sorry it's been a while since I have replied, I unexpectedly gotten sick and kind of stayed away from My PC for a while, but I finally got it to work thanks to your advice. All I needed to do was change the allocation size to 16K from 4096 bytes. Health Scan Log:
