Cannot mount USB drive - Seagate GoFlex 2TB

[xtomiii]

Hello

I have a seagate goflex 2TB drive, which is separated into 2 partitions.
First one is 512 GB ext2 for my TimeMachine backups.
Second is 1.5TB NTFS partition for my data.
When I plugged in the drive to my router I receive following ;(

In the administration the drive is detected correctly as a Segate drive, but it is not able to mount it. Any ideas? Highly appreciated!

Have a fine day.

What firmware version are you using?

Hello, i'm having the same issue, except my HD is a Western Digital 2TB external.

I have the latest stock firmware 3.0.0.4.270

You might want to check if Merlin's latest (270.25b) firmware fixes your issue, as there are some USB HDD fixes included in version 270.24:

- FIXED: Backported various kernel fixes from Oleg/WL500G, Tomato and Kernel.org to help improve HDD > 2 TB support (still not perfect, some USB enclosures are simply not Linux compatible)
