I recently learned that the much touted linksys NSLU2 storage link does not function with drives bigger than 250Gb. I have a Seagate 300Gb drive and would like to attach it to my home network so that all computers can access the drive. I thought the storage link would do the trick but alas it was not to be. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this, is there another product out there other than Linksys? What other options might there be? Thanks in advance for any advice

Try partitioning it into two separate drives. That ought to take care of the issue. Sure, you won't have a big single drive, but you still get the same amount of usable space.

Check out the "hacking the NSLU2" that toms did a while back. Maybe you could mount it and partition it from a command line. That thing is runnin linux OS so it shouldn't be a problem
