Hello Community,
I've a General Question which I can't find an answer for . Can anyone tell me, wether DD-WRT supports usb storage devices with partions on it larger than 16TB in size? Thank you very much
regards
thx for your reply, but in case your answers only consist of counterquestions then you should keep your breath and keep them by yourself. It was a simple Question, and if you don't know the answer, why not simply keep silent then Besides my usb drive I'm Talking about is a raid 5 drive with about 30TB. So Long ...
thank you very much for your answers. Yes of Course I tried ext4, since ext2/3 are not even able to grow above 16TB. ext4 does if the filesystem is set to 64bit (4K Blocks) with e2fsprogs and resize2fs. I could get e2fsprogs with entware tuo my DD-WRT (v3.0) and I could even prepare the filesystem within DD-WRT (ssh) this way, but when I try to mount the Partition I get the message 'filesystem too large'. Maybe it's the Linux kernel or the processor of my router (ARMv7), I don't know but it seems to be not possible. But anyway, thank you very much for your inouts.

DD-WRT supports ext4, so in theory it should be able to.
Have you tried it?
Not across the board. Depends on the device and flash size.
Folks,
I also, would like the know the answer as well. Its an interesting question.
I use the USB port and external drive for assorted non-critical backups. Video game saves, assorted OS images, ancient useless software that I can't seem to toss. Sorta' makes me a data hoarder.
Anyone discover a limit (other than the grueling USB lack of speed)? I'm going to assume the limit is the file system limits, not due to the firmware?
