2Big Nas

[fvdw]

There is no limit for disk size, when they are bigger then 2 TB you need to use gpt type of partition table when installer ask you.

Best is to have a disk with no partitions on it but if there is only one partition it is no problem the installer will remove it.

For installation you need to put only one disk in slot 1, the one on most lefthand side seen from the back of the 2bignas.

The second dusk can be added later after installation

.... but the installer then will not install the correct script to install modules. Thats not necessary a problem the 2bignas will boot but only usb might not work. When upgrading 18-1 to 18-2 it will be oke again.
The kirkwood-3142-standalone-171 kernel supports 2bignas.

So there is no issue to use the current fvdw-sl console and also for modules as the kirkwood tarball contains already the files for 2bignas. After rebooting, the firmware will detect the nas as a 2bignas.

@aturgut
Yes you can use these hard drives and biggest. The install script will erase any partition table.

Thanks a lot. Can you please pinpoint me to the correct how-to? I cannot find a how-to guide to get started. :(
