1Tb usb disks don't mount

Post by alienheartbeat »

I can connect 500gb and 750gb ext3 disks and access them via nfs - no problem.

But when I connect a 1Tb ext3 disk, Gargoyle recognises the disk
(it appears in /tmp/drives_found.txt and in "fdisk -l")
but won't mount it.
("mount " does not show it, and the gui only offers to format it).

But there is nothing wrong with the disks.
I can mount them manually with, eg:

Code: Select all

mount -v -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /tmp/mcmnt
I suspect it is failing in the script: /etc/init.d/usb_storage
but there are no messages in syslog re mount failure - just no message that it has mounted.

A bug? A Limitation?
Any idea what the problem is?
