ASUS O!Play R1 (amp_r13_vrtn) with HDD 5TB

Postby adai » 16 Oct 2017, 14:53

Hello,

I want use my new seagate HDD Backup Plus 5 TB with my ASUS O!Play R1. The HDD uses GPT and is formatted in one NTFS partition.

AMP should support GPT since r11. I updated the O!play to AMP r13. But the O!Play still can’t mount the 5TB HDD. I can’t see anything under /mnt/usbmounts/. The LED for Storage on the frontside of O!play is blinking.

It also doesn’t help if I formatted it in 1TB partition.

HDD smaller than 2 TB is working.

Can someone conform that 5TB is working with O!play and AMP r13? Should I load some extra drive due to GPT?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello

Please show
Code: Select all
parted -l


NTFS for player is not optimally. Use telnet and format it as EXT file system.

BUT!
this player has only 128 MB RAM, the big partitions can't work good. it is impossible to check the file system.
please use the partitions 2TB or less. and as EXT3.

P.S. I hope, you use (e)SATA, not an USB

Hello lymax,

the HDD has only one USB port. Is this an issue? I have tried it on USB port and the USB/eSATA combi-port.

parted -l shows nothing. Also mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 fails with:
Could not stat /dev/sdb1 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

Hi adai!
Let's start from general stuff:
1. What's in the log right after attaching your device - tail -n 30 /var/.log ?
2. Does any sd* appear in dev - ls /dev/sd* ?

Similar message repeats more times in the log.

So as Virtual said: using usb was a bad idea:

A new /dev/sda appers under /dev

but you still can try parted /dev/sda.

If I know how many issues I have now, I'll buy a simple 2TB HDD :-(

Also parted /dev/sda shows nothing.

I don't know if these lines in log are my issue:

Oct 3 12:18:27 AMP12 user.notice kernel: SCSI device sda: 0 512-byte hdwr sectors (0 MB) physical_block_size:512
Oct 3 12:18:27 AMP12 user.err kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through
Oct 3 12:18:27 AMP12 user.warn kernel: disk->capacity:0x0

No 512-Byte sectors is found and disk capacity is showed as zero.

PS.: windows says this HDD works with 512 Byte sector, not a 4K sector emulation:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>wmic diskdrive get BytesPerSector,Model
BytesPerSector Model
512 Seagate BUP BK SCSI Disk Device

2 adai: Post photos of your 5 Tb hdd-drive and plug that you connecting to the player.

P.S. Very likely that the disk larger than 2TB will not work on usb, try connect it via esata. For this you need to have on your drive esata connector or you can remove the disk from it box and connect using these cables

, additionally, you must plug in power to 5 and 12 volts.

Hello olegin,

HDD seagate backup plus, with its USB3 port and USB3 cable.

I don't like to open the box due to guaranty.

I've also a 3TB seagate from past time. This uses MBR and 4K emulation. This works fine on O!play. Thus I think this may be not just a 5TB issue, but a GPT issue.
