pi_sbc56 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hi, I've been using armbian in combination with openmediavault for the last years to access my files on an 1TB HDD. Today I wanted to upgrade the drive to a 3 TB one, but it just shows a capacity 746GB. Is there a size limit on the GL830 for harddrives or why isn't the real capacity showing up? fdisk-l: Disk /dev/sda: 746.5 GiB, 801569724416 bytes, 1565565868 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Thanks in advance Regards, Joshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi_sbc56 Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hi, my drive has a gpt table and is perfectly recognized on my main machine (debian 9). So the disk itself is fine. Regards joshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 That is strange. Please provide: armbianmonitor -u Here is my 8TB attached to, well, true SATA ... but that is irrelevant. _ _ _ _ _ _ | | | | ___| (_) ___ ___| || | | |_| |/ _ \ | |/ _ \/ __| || |_ | _ | __/ | | (_) \__ \__ _| |_| |_|\___|_|_|\___/|___/ |_| Welcome to Armbian - Stretch (2018.10) Linux 4.14.74-mvebu System load: 0.02 0.04 0.00 Up time: 41 days Memory usage: 3 % of 2018MB IP: 172.16.100.37 CPU temp: 22°C Usage of /: 69% of 15G storage/: 12% of 7.3T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi_sbc56 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi, this is my armbianmonitor link: http://ix.io/1u5y I've tried bionic and stretch, both with the same result, sda has 746GB But with stretch fdisk -l shows a size of 2TB?! I'll download an old debian image from the orangepi site and test if the same problem occurs. Do you have any ideas? Regards Joshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
