3TB support for Sparc-based ReadyNAS NV+ and Dou
I currently own 2 ReadyNAS Dou and 2 NV+. There has been many discussions that the Sparc-based ReadyNAS (Dou and NV+) in the firmware beta forums is not support 3TB drives. I recently read thi...
Will that run on 32-bit FreeBSD systems? Sparc ReadyNAS are 32-bit so any code that requires 64-bit would be useless. FreeBSD doesn't appear to use EXT3 or EXT4 as the filesystem (correct me if I'm wrong). Not sure if the filesystem is relevant.
If GPT support is developed for 32-bit Sparc and it can be backported then hopefully it will be done, but personally I wouldn't count on that anytime soon. NetGear wouldn't use GPT code for Sparc unless it's proven to be stable. If it is ever implemented, I wouldn't be surprised if another factory default will be needed for the same reasons as it was needed for 4k sector support.
