DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

I have a CH3SNAS with an USB hub. This hub has two USB sticks:
USB1 on /dev/sdc      1 GB which I use for ffp and a small website
USB2 on /dev/sdd1    8 GB which I want to use to download Torrents onto (using Transmission 1.42)

USB 1 works without any issue. However, if I start writing on USB2 I get errors in dmesg stating either "access beyond end of device" or "EXT2-fs error (device sdd1): ext2_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block = 1862199329, count = 1". Googling around I did find some information about this issue (it seems like that the block size of the device is not determined correct, while the size is determined correctly. This leads to attempts to write beyond the end of the device,see e.g. http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-List … /4784.html).

This is the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdd

Disk /dev/sdd: 8086 MB, 8086618112 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 983 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sdd1               1         245     1967931  83 Linux


The disk works fine using it with vfat. However, I prefer to use it with ext2, due to the limitations of vfat.

Do I just have bad luck with this device in combination with the CH3SNAS, or is there a solution for this issue?
