We have a 3TB external USB drive that I am trying to attach to some CentOS5 servers. I have tried an older Dell PE1950 and a newer R310 but

one seems to be able to read the drive. It works no problem on windows servers/workstations and I was able to format with NTFS.
Oh, right, related: it's almost a complete certainty that the drive's *real* blocksize is 4k, but has internal code to present it as 512bytes. When you format the drive, be 100% sure to align it correctly: for parted, tell it 0.0TB, which will put it at 1M. The alignment really *does* make a difference in access and throughput speed.
