Re: [POSSIBLE SPAM] Re: use a 3TB WD Mybook on old etch system kernel 2.6.18-6-486. parted 1.7.1 has bugs. can I use modern parted on other system and move over drive
ok so I will try it tomorrow. Thank you very much I will report back Mitchell 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.

To confirm if your kernel has support for it search EFI_PARTITION in /proc/config.gz or /boot/config to see if EFI partition is defined. cat /boot/config-2.6.18-6-486 |grep EFI CONFIG_EFI_VARS=m CONFIG_EFI=y CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y A1:~# q ok so I will try it tomorrow.
