Ratty?
I overlooked the link you posted in previous reply ,thanks for your information.
But I sitll doubted this compatible USB drives listed in the link , because the following facts
1. At the beginning when I got the LS-QVL, only 1 3TB WD disk in the slot 1 of my LS-QVL and it worked well , then i plugged my Seagate 4TB external USB HDD into this LS-QVL;
2. At this moment ,there were 3 NTFS partitions(1T,2T,2T) in this USB HDD with data stored , when I browsed the USB disk on the WebUI I found only one 600G partition can be found;
3. Meanwhile, I stilll can access the other 2 NTFS partitions(2T,2T) by mounting them via SSH ,and I also can read the data in these two partitions--- but problem is these 2 partitions can't be shared!
4. So, I posted in this forum to ask why ,Davo replied to me in another message thread that LS only can recognized the first partition due to the firmware limition---I also confirmed this conclusion on the user manual later;
5. Based on Davo's comment ,I just thought everything should be ok if I format this 4T USB HDD with only one 1 partition ,so I backup all the data in it ,and use WIN7 64 bit OS to delete all the partitions and format it to only one partition;
6. But when I plugged it into LS again , I just found nothing can be found at all this time---even that strange 600G partition! So, I tried to format it by LS-QVL on the WebUI ,but always get failed.
May you or any one can give further comments? Actually it' ok to me with the 600G partition can be recognized only if the other partitions can be shared in my home network? Thanks again!
