purko, you make a good point, hopefully we can move to 4.7.1 stable shortly. I am content to have a stable release that supports advanced format drives for the time being without any quirks.
It is an unreasonable amount of effort. Support the > 2.1 TB drives requires a newer Linux kernel and tools, which is essentially what the unRAID 5.x series is.
It is not an unreasonable request though, seeing how the unRAID 5.x series has been in beta for 14 months already, and the end is anyone's bet. What's unreasonable is that the stable release has been practically abandoned, without any new stable version to replace it.
