I'm replacing my Elastix PBX here at home, even downloaded the latest 2.5 stable release. Looks like a winner in terms of some new features and the same dependable old ones. Sadly, it's still based on CentOS 5.10 with the 2.6.18 kernel. I'm running the 64-bit version.
Well, silly me. I purchased an Intel OEM barebones Atom machine from Newegg, which has a couple USB 3.0 ports. Also bought a 2.7 TB USB 3.0 drive. OS doesn't even see it, so I plug it into a USB 2.0 port. Now we're cooking, but not with gas. Under CentOS 5.10, fdisk won't format it as ext3 greater than 700 GB, even though it recognizes the true capacity of the drive. Well, no problem - I'll format it on a Ubuntu 14 system. This is a highly successful, if slow process. There's no joy when I try to mount it on the Centos 5.10 machine. There's a /dev/sdb created but no /dev/sdb1. There was ample rust found on the brain when I started this process, and these obstructions don't seem to have helped any. Online searching hasn't been fruitful. Am I simply out of luck here? I can live with USB 2.0 speeds; it's just media on the big drive. I *do* want the drive on the PBX computer; that's what I've had for a few years and it's a nice combo. I suppose I could pick up a Raspberry Pi and use it as the host for the drive, but… Are there perhaps differences in how Ubuntu formats an ext3 drive (just one full-drive partition) and how CentOS does it? That seems wrong to me, but I don't generally play around with Linux at such a low level.
