I like to use gdisk instead of fdisk, which supports gpt.

@jomy: sorry unfortunately I have never used webmatrix, but you should be able to find a config file somewhere in the program directory and try modify that file. Good luck!

@Seth: Sorry for the double-comments, but it does take a while for the Drobo to load, particularly if the partition is large (in my case, the 8TB partitions took a full 5-10 min at least before it is done (i.e., when you see the next command line and ready). However for 3TB partitions it is a lot faster (almost instant), so I guess for larger partitions, the program will need to spend some time to analyze the partitions, hence it would take a while.

@Seth: Are you actually using a powered USB hub for your Drobo? I think I read somewhere people were saying that even though Drobo itself has a power adaptor, you have to use a powered USB hub for it to work with those ARM devices.

Whenever I type any parted command with my Drobo attached it hangs the terminal (cursor goes to the next line and no output or prompt is available). Typing ctrl+C just prints a ^C and doesn’t bring a prompt back. This happens on “parted -l” or any of the commands inside the script created by “drobom -d /dev/sda format ext3 PleaseEraseMyData” (dev/sda is my drobo), such as “parted /dev/sda mklabel gpt”

Anybody have any ideas why my Pi is hanging? Seems like its running out of memory, but thats just a random guess.

Full Disclosure: Its a Gen2 Drobo with 4 3tb hdd’s and I’m trying to create a volume >2tb (obviously). Everything I read says >2tb LUN’s aren’t allowed on linux, but all the disclaimers are from at least 2 years ago and come the claim that it might/probably is possible if the kernel is newer than 2.6.x.x and Enable Block Layer->Support for Large Devices is enabled (both of which are true). But my friend has accomplished it with a Gen1 Drobo, so I’m pretty sure its possible.

Thanks in advance!
