Recognize Ext3 as Ext2

[Galleons]

I am using firmware 1.9.7.2. I have attached a HDD to WL500gP. The HDD has 2 partitions (Primary partition in Ext3, Extended partition in FAT32). The router recognizes the first partition as Ext2. The log is here.

Jan 1 08:00:42 USB storage: 32760k swap file is added

Is there any way to correct this problem because I may download files more than 2GB?

I dont think ext2 limits the max file size at 2gb :S
Fat32 does.

However, when I try to download files over 2GB via Download Master, it shows error and an error file something like "initial meta failedend". Any clue?

Nope but If I were You I would give up the ASUS stock stuff and go with olegs firmware.

I bought gp a week ago and it took me 10 mins of that shitty download master when i started to look for an alternative firmware.

PS maybe the download master writes to the FAT not the ext part ?
Try removing the FAT one and try again.
But consider the alternative firmware..
