SSD Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I locked the voting, since the new beta 5.0b7 is out and opinions about the "next" release are moot. People can still post. This was an impressive poll - 318 poll responses. This dwarfs the response to any prior poll! Although not everyone will be thrilled that the focus of beta7 was on 3TB drive support, it really had to be (IMO) to continue to attract new customers. And we are not just talking about 3T support - this change (in theory) should allow disks up to 16TB (which is the limit of an RFS partition) to be in an unRAID array. A 5.0 stable release with 3T drive support will be a beautiful thing. Hope that we will get there soon! Link to comment
Heretic Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 couldn't agree more. even if I personally don't need 3TB drives themselves just yet for anyone buying new hardware it is at this stage important to know what hardware supports 2TB+ . without support it isn't really possible to test controllers and motherboards. i hope soon we can see what controller cards get a thumbs up.

InvaderZim Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I've got a 3Tb Western Digital EZRX drive in my unRAID 5.0-beta8c box right now. Doesn't need any special hardware, the mobo sees it just fine. I pre-cleared it, and it's being detected properly as 3Tb by unRAID, however I'm not able to use it as a parity drive yet (red dot next to the drive). Link to comment
InvaderZim Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 If Tom or anyone is reading this, I'm happy to run tests if that'll help us get 3Tb support sooner! Link to comment

I pre-cleared it, and it's being detected properly as 3Tb by unRAID, however I'm not able to use it as a parity drive yet (red dot next to the drive). What version of unRAID are you running? Version 5.0beta8d seems to work just fine with 3TB drives. (as had several earlier 5.0beta versions, but with some minor issues in recognizing a pre-cleared 3TB drive.) Link to comment
InvaderZim Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm running 5.0-beta8c. I downloaded it two days ago, I thought it was the latest rev? Maybe it was the pre-clearing that caused my issue. I'll try again with "d". Link to comment
InvaderZim Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Didn't work. The 3Tb drive synced without errors, but it has a red dot. Link to comment
Joe L. Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Didn't work. The 3Tb drive synced without errors, but it has a red dot. attach a syslog. Otherwise, we have no real clues to what is happening. Link to comment

That would be a good first step. upgrade to it. Without it, there is no way to properly create the GPT partition on the 3TB drive. Link to comment
InvaderZim Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 That did the trick. Syslog attached in case it's helpful. syslog-2011-07-14.zip Link to comment
