Another problem again :p, this time is the FTP server.
I am using an IBM 45G HD for the ftp server, previously it is the HD in my PC, it has 3 partition in FAT 32, first 2 are 12G and the 3rd one is ~19G. I formatted the C drive before using it as the server.
However, in the server, it only showed the partition 1 & 2. The data in partition 3 doesn't show up???
According to ASUS's test, the router should be able to support 3 partition.
firmware 1.7.5.6 CR4
Thanks.

The router may support 3 partitions, but the FTP server does certainly not! The FTP server only has two 'root' directories (ftp_pvt and ftp_pub) which are by default on the first partition, it won't see any other... Perhaps you could try some symbolic links from whithin those root directories to the other partition, but I don't know if that works though.

ehm i believe it creates something like partition2 in the 'root' of the first partition to access the other partitions

Yes, it showed 2 partition, 1st one is the root directory which is the 1st partition, the 2nd partition has also showed up and the file previously in it can be retrieved too, however, the partition doesn't show up.
