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

Since I wasn't successful using my 3TB Seagate GoFlex external USB 3.0 drive, I decided to see if I could have any luck using a bare drive in docking station. After some experimention, I'm able to mount a 4TB (Seagate ST4000DM000) Drive to the ReadyNAS NV+ v2 :-D
(I'll try the same process with the Sans Digital TR5UTP RAID external box next. I'm backing up data from it to the 4TB Seagate prior to re-partitioning and re-formatting it.)
I was able to do this by using a PC running CentOs 6.2, partitioning the drive as a single GPT partition (via parted) and formatting it with the ext4 filesystem.
