Hello All,
All I want to do with this router is setup my External HD to serve as a storage drive through this router.
My external drive is made up of two 2TB drives running in Raid0. So the total storage is 4TB. I know I cannot setup NTFS as a 4TB partition with MBR, so I tried setting up one partition at 1.9TB with NTFS and MBR. Nothing. So I tried a 4TB NTFS partition with GPT. Still nothing. The router will mount and share my 8gb thumb drive, but not this drive.
So I figured I would try another firmware and I flashed Oleg's firmware (RT-N16-1.9.2.7-rtn-r2274.trx) and tried this tutorial. But here's what it says when I enter this code:for i in `cat /proc/mounts | awk '/tmp\/mnt/{print($1)}'`;do umount $i; done
mkswap /dev/sda1 && swapon /dev/sda1
mke2fs -j /dev/sda2
mke2fs -j /dev/sda3
says something like "can't open ' /dev/sda1': No such file or directory" and "can't stat ' /dev/sda1': No such file or directory"
I'm at my wits end here. I just want to be able to connect my hard drive to serve as a storage server for my home network. Why the heck is this so difficult?
