I created it as 3TiB ext4 partition initially, and when I went to mount it, mount told me that it was a wrong fs type, bad superblock, missing codepage and many other dreadful things, even though it was created and mounted fine on Ubuntu 10.04. I got the idea that Debian Live doesn't support ext4 as of debian-live-507-i386-lxde-desktop.img, so I used ext3. I thought maybe I need to be more explicit with mount here and pass it some parameter to identify what it is... mount -t ext4 actually informed me that etx4 was an unknown filesystem type. Which gets me right to the point: How do you mount this 3TiB ext4 partition within Debian live.
