What does this show for the size of the disk?

galen,

  I used parted -l /dev/sdc. The tool showed all three disks; it reported sdc
having 802G capacity. parted /dev/sdc print reports the same 802G.

  Seems like this drive just will not allow access to the full 3T when
outside of its original case. Perhaps Seagate builds the firmware
differently when the drive is sold in an external enclosure rather than for
internal use in a desktop.

  So, since we seem to have exhausted possibilities (fdisk, cfdisk, lsblk,
parted, gparted) I need to replace it with a known-good internal hard drive.
Will order from Newegg later today.

Thanks,

Rich
