Seagate GoFlex Home 3Tb - how to use whole 3Tb of space?

Postby lpt2007 » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:44 am

Hi

I have a problem booting my Seagate GoFlex Home with GPT partition?

I installed my GoFlex Home using this turtorial http://http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-home,
and all is working. The only problem I have is that I can't use whole 3Tb of space. Because of that I tried to convert partition from
MBR to GPT using program cgdisk and when I restart GoFlex is now not accessible trough lan anymore! The green light is blinking.


Anybody can help me out? Any good turtorial how to use whole 3Tb partition?

thx for help

There are probably 5 threads in this forum about how to make it work. Search. In short you need a hybrid mbr because U-Boot does not know how to use GPT, but MBR only supports volumes up to 2TB so you need GPT. :)
EDIT: This is what you need to do: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2611&start=30#p14953, you should probably read the whole thread though to understand
