March 13, 201313 yr Some seconds ago I tried to connect an 3TB USB drive to my RC11 box. I tried the following commands: mount -r -t ntfs /dev/sdp1 /mnt/usbdrive -o umask=111,dmask=000 -v mount -r -t ntfs /dev/sdp2 /mnt/usbdrive -o umask=111,dmask=000 -v Both return: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdp1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Syslog shows: Mar 13 07:31:06 Tower2 kernel: NTFS-fs error (device sdp2): parse_ntfs_boot_sector(): Volume size (2TiB) is too large for this architecture. Maximum supported is 2TiB. Sorry. Mar 13 07:31:06 Tower2 kernel: NTFS-fs error (device sdp2): ntfs_fill_super(): Unsupported NTFS filesystem. I thought support for 3TB drives is build-in. Thanks.

March 13, 201313 yr It looks like that drive was using NTFS format? If so, the built-in NTFS support is limited to drives of 2TB or less (and read-only access). The answer is to load the ntfs-3g package which supports larger drives and also write access for NTFS. There have been many forum posts about where to get this (I do not have the details to hand). I have requested in the past that this be included in the standard unRAID build, but so far this has not happened.
March 13, 201313 yr Author Ah, thanks. This NTFS-3G package works with 3TB drives. Did install with unMENU. Thanks a lot. Regards Harald
