GPT to MBR(+ext3)

My external HDD is "Seagate Backup Plus 500 GB USB 3.0"
I want to use it for NAS(dd-wrt firmed) ,  I changed it to MBR and ext3.

-> gdisk and mkfs.ext3 is best solution!

* If you want to use only data storage, you can remove reserved space which is 5% of whole disk.
sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1
