Problems with the Storage API

Hi all,

so I'm making good progress ... however with the Storage API I'm having a bit of trouble.

If I call the following url in the Swagger UI:

https://192.168.42.100/storage/api/v1/media

I get this response:

[  {
    "uuid": "C2E7-F514",
    "label": "Extreme SSD",
    "mounted": false,
    "format": "exfat",
    "size": 1000169226752,
    "device": "sda1"
  },
  {
    "uuid": "d2d26aa9-0ab9-4ecf-aff8-f8194080ee02",
    "label": "ubuntu-data",
    "mounted": true,
    "format": "ext4",
    "size": 2917068800,
    "used": 1074192384,
    "device": "mmcblk0p4",
    "internal": true
  },
  {
    "uuid": "4A65-4441",
    "mounted": false,
    "format": "fat32",
    "size": 15633219584,
    "device": "mmcblk1p1"
  }
]

I guess my "extreme" SSD should probably be an "extern" SSD (because that's what it is).

As you can see, I added an external USB SSD device as well as an micoSD card in the card reader slot.
The problem is, that I can't decode the response from the generated client as the "exfat" format is not specified in the spec. I'll probably manually add this in order to be able to continue, but I thought I'd report this, so it can be added to the list of constants.

The command below is working on my micro-SD in Ext4 format.

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://192.168.1.100/storage/api/v1/tasks' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJFUzM4NCIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2OTg5NjYxODQsImlhdCI6MTY5ODkzNzM4NCwiaWQiOiIxMDAwIiwibmFtZSI6ImJvc2NocmV4cm90aCIsIm5vbmNlIjoiNzU4NjU1MjQtM2Q3MC00YzNmLWExNDAtZTA1NzI5ZjBmOWFmIiwicGxjaGFuZGxlIjowLCJyZW1vdGVhdXRoIjoiIiwic2NvcGUiOlsicmV4cm90aC1kZXZpY2UuYWxsLnJ3eCJdfQ.ydKR7RzYQGrR8VOG4ZpY3aUAwT2yH1yOua8XpZdkypuVH5BtTW4cm0me6m9duZo1F3GH73siOOQD8kQaAkQOlRY4uCLF9I_Zq-t3sGA119r_wTjMslI8XpHe2Wic1Mns' \

The 400 error makes it seem like your REST API request format is incorrect, although admittedly the error message isn't very helpful. I also think you will need to format your disc to Ext4 or Fat32.
