How to format a USB drive > 298mb
Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this question. I'm happy to move it if there's a better place. I have a 3tb USB3 external drive which I've connected to my Ultra4. I'm trying to format it so...
I'm having the same problem. Just tried formatting a 4TB Seagate Backup+ USB disk to do some backup on my Pro 6. When I try formatting EXT4, it says the volume is only 298mb.
I tried repartitioning in the Mac OS Disk Utility. Tested every partitioning option, but every time I connect the disk and try to format on the ReadyNAS, it only sees 298mb.
Is this an issue with my Pro's USB hardware or low level firmware?
Is there a way I can format the Seagate Backup+ that will fix the problem?
ReadyNAS Pro Flame B version 1.1 motherboard
RAIDiator 4.2.26
Any advice?
Thanks!
