Hi guys,
I am facing same issues using a 3TB disk.
If I connect the disk to any of the (four) sata ports, it is detected by the kernel (I've tried all 4 ports)
If I connect the same disk to the e-sata port, it is not detected, instead.
The disk used is: Seagate SV35 ST3000VX000
Here the dmesg outputs in both cases:

Are there any limitations (hw or sw) for using 3TB disks?
The kernel used has been recompiled to add LBD and EFI support.
I am using RDK 2.00.00.23 and the DM8168 DVR
Best Regards
