Smart Hub Storage status: Format required - No Option appears to format. USB works fine in Computer

[Arlopatriot]

Have  VMB4540r3 Smart base w/ FW: 1.19.0.3_1172_68a8e53.

Few days ago system stopped recording locally.  When I went to Local storage - the storage status says : Format Required in yellow.  When I tap into storage status.

Local storage status & Available storage both appear w/ just a dash next to them and no "Format USB Drive" option appears.

When I take out the drive, the smart drive says the drive was not properly ejected.

Yet when I plug the drive into my macbook or PC, the videos appear fine.  

Whats going on here?  How can I get this to work again?

What percentage is used on the USB storage device, if it is 80% the base will not add more recordings unless it is set to auto overwrite. It normally would send a notification to you though.

Did you try rebooting the hub?

[Arlopatriot]

about 70 GB or 3.5% of the capacity.

Yeah several times.  

Even removed all my devices to try and reset it.  Since then My wired doorbell hasn't been working :(.  Keep getting amber.  been fiddling w/ that for the past few days....
