The bug is in the upstream kernel and in Ubuntu MATE 18.10. Seagate refused to contact you to find out what the problem is. With no response from Ubuntu, I am returning the drive for a refund. Maybe some decade Ubuntu will support drives larger than 5TB (currently the largest from Seagate is 16TB).
