And the answer is: The drive was not recognized as partitioned and formated as two ext3 partitions of size 1.5T. even after I partitioned it on a modern sid system. The old debian kernel 2.6-18-2 recognized the gpt identity, but would not mount the drive. Oh well, I will have to take the machine down and update before backup.
