622/722: Looks like they are working on the 1.5TB Limit

[David_Levin]

I'm getting ready to setup a new media server and figured I'd pop the Hitachi 2TB onto the 722 to see if they worked on the 1.5TB limit with SW version L625.

Low and Behold:

Unfortunately they probably created the Delete Bug when the worked on the new code. Hopefully it'll be corrected soon.

From the partitioning side, there's now a couple of logical partitions:

Yep... I saw the release notes a few weeks ago saying they removed the > 1TB limit.

2TB drives work now? If so, nice! Just don't like the bug that (likely) came with it...

It's just that now you get programs randomly erased. Gee, they really have solved the space feature... By random deletion.

Oh, there's a definite pattern to it...just keep something to feed the bug (some useless piece of programming) for the second watch, then you're ok for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc... It's an annoying work-around, but beats losing stuff you don't want deleted...

Just a note that I didn't leave the 2TB on the 722. Just verified that it now formatted correctly. Hopefully others will provide additional reports.
