I have installed a new 18Tb HDD on my XTrend ET10000.
Unfortunately it has an existing NTFS partition and I cannot format it.
If I use the initialization procedure it doesn't work and crashes because it finds the NTFS partition.
Can anyone help me..?
Thank you
Flavio

There is no practical limit (well, there is, but is is exabytes). But the maximum partition size for the ext4 filesystem is 16TB, so that might as well be your problem.

That was the problem .. !!
I unmounted HDD and connected to PC.
I used GPARTED-LIVE 1.4.0-5. because i don't know how to get to linux command line.
I created the 15.8Tb partition and formatted it EXT4 and
NOW IT WORKS.
Thank you so much WanWizard

Since you are kind, can I ask another question?

Is it possible to share an USB external HDD?

thanks a lot

Flavio

Yes, by default samba is installed and every mount point is automatically defined as a CIFS share that you can access from any compatible device.

 

If you want NFS, you need to install NFS server first.

 

There is an howto available in our wiki: https://wiki.openpli.org/Data_sharing

I've done it..!!

Default is NFS..And it seems to work.
It's just a bit slow but I think it's USB (2.0 ..?)

nfs client (from the box to an NFS server) yes, NFS server (from another client to the box) not without installing NFS server.

 

And yes, the USB ports of the box are slow, 25Mbps if you're lucky with a USB stick, probably a bit more with a disk.

Now I am transferring from W10 x64 client to HDD box in NFS share at a speed of 45-55MB/s.

Do you think that with CIFS sharing it gets faster?

1000 thanks again.

In general NFS is faster than CIFS, less protocol overhead. That speed is quite decent given the age of the box and the slow USB port.
