HDD fdisk - device has more than 2^32 sectors, can't use all

[yaqushi]

Hi guys,

 

short question,

 

did anyone came across this "error" already:

 

I am running 3x3TB, 1x2TB, adn 1x80GB, when using SSH/fdisk -l, the following is the output:

 

DiskStation> fdisk -l

Questions:

1. Why is the 3TB drive (all of them have the same output) not properly initialized, with only 2199 GB?

2. Why has the 2TB drive 4 partitions, and the other HDDs only 1 Partition? The 2TB drive is the last in the chain, on MB at SATA6.

 

Thanks.
