3TB (GPT) external disk support via USB3.0 on ARM Duo/NV+ v2
I'd like to see GPT (GUID Partition Table) support for 3TB and larger external drives connected to the ARM ReadyNAS products (Duo V2 / NV+ V2) via the USB3.0 ports. Thanks
It's been 6 months since the original post, but I haven't seen any mention that this may be available in a firmware upgrade.
I'd like to be able to connect my 5 drive (8TB) RAID box with a USB3.0 connection directly to my NV+ v2 and use it as a backup device.
Since the ARM v2 hardware platform supports GPT drives internally, I believe that it should be possible to support GPT via the USB ports.
The x86 platform supports GPT via USB ports, so the code to do this should be available to carry forward to the ARM platform.
Please consider adding support for GPT drives via USB3.0 in an upcoming firmware upgrade.
Thanks
