Hello everyone. I recently purchased a 6TB drive and added it as a secondary to my Optiplex 380. The issue is that it won't see the 6TB partition. The bios sees the drive, it's properly listed in dmesg, but the OS doesn't see it to mount it. The partitioners DO see the physical drive but show it as being unpartitioned. I originally thought this may be a GPT issue - not being enabled in the xbcbuntu kernal. However, the box sees a 3TB external fine, so I'm not sold on that idea anymore.
Frustrated, I've attempted to re-partition the drive on the box itself through fdisk,cfdisk,qparted. None of them will allow me to make the 6TB partition I'm hoping for.
If you can shed any light on what I may be missing here I'd be very thankful.
