Hmm, very bad idea to create a file system on the raw disk. The swap type partitions know how to handle this well but for a partition with data why take the chance that something will write the MBR there. That's what happenned I bet.
I know how to do this - it *is* how I started. Also, I guess you didn't read the original post - these are 4TB drives, so no MBR, GPT only. <snip> And my manager has taken a fancy to raw drives; not sure why.
