Title: External 4T USB drive(3 paritions) connected to the LS-QVL Quad only 1st partition recognized
Post by: seanyang2006 on May 05, 2013, 03:53:54 AM

As the subject described ,I want to connect mine 4T USB drive which has 3 partitions : system(600G),data(1T) and relax(2.1T) to my LS-QVL Quad NAS , it can be recognized but only the 1st partition 600G displayed as usbdisk1 on the WebUI, i don't know why ---I also checked the /dev direcotry by ssh to LS ,there are usbdisk1 ,usbdisk1_2, usbdisk1_5,usbdisk1_6 and usbdisk_7 in it and I can mount usbdis1_6(1T) and usbdisk1_7(2.1T) , question is these 2 partition can't be displayed on the WebUI and shared access by my windows PCs in my intranet.
So, how can i make all the 3 partitions accessed via netword ? I also tried to edit smb.conf ,but it seems this file will be overwritten when restart smb service.

Not possible, the LS will only ever be able to see the first partition of any connected USB HDD.

Davo:

So, what do you mean not possible? I am curios that linux has recognized all the 3 partitions already , is there any possibility to share them on the intranet-- maybe by samba or even NFS? what's your source for your "impossible"  --- I mean is it a limitation by LS firmware ? I use the v1.64 firmware.

Thanks for reply and help.

Yes it is a limitation of the firmware, the Buffalo LS can only see and mount 1 partition from a connected USB HDD.
