Hello, new Linux user here and I cannot mount a new (empty) WD MyBook Essentials 3TB USB external hard drive (Model WDBACW0030HBK-NESN).
<snip> Several thoughts: first, you said gpartd had questions about it. *IS* it a RAID (I don't know the device)? Esp. if not, I'd recreate the partition, and... 3TB, use gparted *NOT* fdisk, which can only handle up to 2TB. Make sure the partition type is GPT. I don't believe FAT or FAT-32 can handle a drive this big.
