I wonder if it uses a GPT partition table or not. I don't remember all the details, but for some reason I think you need a GPT partition table to handle partitions, filesystems, or something over 2 TB.
I would have expected this as well, but: [bent@bnlaptop ~]$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print Model: WD My Book 1140 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 3001GB Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/4096B Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 3001GB 3001GB primary
There's a problem here: MSDOS - that would be an MBR - can only handle 2TB. Now, if it's set up with 4k sectors, it'll do more, but I don't know if there's an interaction there.
In short, either partition the drive, or rebuild the drive with a GPT.
