Title: 4TB disk install into HD300B
Post by: zukes on July 03, 2016, 07:02:54 AM

I have Himedia HD300B with 2TB WD green disk.
I have decided change disk to 4TB WD red (red because it has better shaking protection).

Unfortunatelly HD300B can't see new disk.
WD 4TB was init as GPT. I try to devide it similar as 2TB ( 3 partition, NTFS, Linux swap and linux Ext 3) but it does not help.
NTFS with 8kB cluster size.

Internally HD300B write that logical clusters does not match with phisical clusters (after fdisk -l) and size is 0.

Can you help me?

Also this player should match the tutorial made by me for Q10 Pro. Just read it and follow instructions for Internal or USB-External.
Never tried a 8K Cluster size (default is 4 K which always worked for me.  There is no such a thing like logical and physical clusters. There are logical and physical sector sizes though.

Making more partitions never helps. You may use EXT-4 as an alternative to NTFS as documented also for this player.

I tried cluster 4kB, 2kB, 8kB etc.
I tried linux Ext4 all the time the same.

More details.
For 2TB green WD

when I use  telnet and
/sbin # fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               2      243141  1953022050    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2          243142      243161      160650   82  Linux swap
/dev/sda3          243162      243181      160650   83  Linux

I see disk size.

When I do the same for 4TB I see nothing just new line

So it seems fdisk can't read GPT disk. Maybe I should replace linux but how?
 
I tried also by USB. In this case disk is visible but with size. Size is 0.

Of course PC see whole 4TB.

Any idea?
