I attached a 3TB USB drive to my pi but I cannot for the life of me get it to initialize properly! I end out with a 800GB disk insted each time.
What do I do?
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.10.25+ #622 PREEMPT Fri Jan 3 18:41:00 GMT 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux
Did the drive come with an enclosure?
Does it work properly on another Windows/Linux PC or Mac?
If the enclosure didn't come with the drive, that may be your problem.
Some enclosures have problems with large drives.
What tool are you using for partitioning?
There's a 2TB limit for MBR partitioned volumes, so you should be using GPT partitioning.
