[SOLVED] Pogoplug series 4: Trying to mount 4TB HFS+ USB HD

Well, replace is the correct word.

English is not my first language so overwrite and replace kind of sound the same to me in this context But thanks for the correction

So the net question is, can I downgrade back to 3.1.10-13 (by doing "pacman -Rsn linux-kirkwood") if I need to after applying the 3.6.4-1 Linux-Kirkwood package?

Downgrade by
pacman -Sy linux linux-headers

When I finish installing the linux-kirkwood package the following is displayed:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
>>> Updating module dependencies. Please wait ...

the Dockstar and Pogoplug v2 originally came with. If you do
not have an updated version, your system WILL NOT BOOT.

')

Where do I get the new U-Boot?

[WarheadsSE]

Yo have the V4. You're okay. Our (the one supplied by Arch Linux ARM) doesn't have this limitation.

I can report that using linux-kirkwood 3.6.4-1 I can now successfully mount 4TB HFS+ hard drives. With journaling turned off the hard drives even mount R/W. I was ready to create 2TB partitions but now I don't have to do that. Thank you all that responded for your help.

Glad it worked for you. Yet another reason to upgrade the kernel.

@WarheadsSE so PPv4's U-Boot has L2cache disabled. From all armv5 devices are there any that still don't have a "new" U-Boot?

[WarheadsSE]

@moonman:
It depends on the device's uboot Some come with it disabled, some don't. Some don't even have the problem!
