Hello
DM7020HD with cvs + gp3 image
I have a Western Digital 1 TB external hard disk formatted with NTFS, which was divided into two 500 GB partitions. But when I connect it to the Box it detects only one partition and Mount it.
1. Primary partition in Linux is better or Logical?
2. How do I Mount other partitions?
Thanks
HDD partitions are not recognized by DM7020HD ?

My box is the DM8000 and I am using the Oozoon image but I think this should be similar.
Setup then System then Storage devices. Mine would show the second partition in there and ask if I wanted to mount it.
Incidentally is there any reason why you want it to have two partitions ? If not just merge them into a single one as there isn't a 1TB limit, if its for different kinds of films or music or something like that then I find using a single partition with multiple folders for the different type of films or music works fine.

keep in mind you should NOT mix the DMM Device Manager with the GP Device Manager
use only one
and I wouldn't use NTFS in combination with the dreambox

and I wouldn't use NTFS in combination with the dreambox
I don't know how Jalizi is using his external drive but I FTP recordings that I want to keep from the Dreamboxes internal hard drive to various 1 and 2TB SATA hard drives that I drop into a USB 3 hard drive dock attached to my PC. Then if I want to watch something at a later date I just drop the relevant SATA drive into another USB hard drive dock that I have plugged into my Dreambox. All my drives are formatted as NTFS and the Dreambox has no problem reading them.

ntfs reading is no problem. writing is it, especialy multiple recordings at the the same time from a dream on a ntfs formatted drive.

OT
you should consider a NAS

I think with GP3 you can / have to load the NTFS kernel modules in the blue panel. But I guess that is described in their forum or Wiki already.

Finally, I did not know how to fix this problem, what should I do?

Did you want your drive as 2 partitions for a special reason ?
If not then just merge the partitions into a single partition on your PC.
