If you have more than 2TB you can't use fdisk, need to use parted
to see full size of disk. You say it is usb, there could
be issues there too. What does lsusb say?

We have StarTech external multi-bay hard drive enclosure

It has 2TB drives and is configured for Raid5.
Disks are partitioned using ext3 (gpt partition table)
Ubuntu 9.08 works fine: it sees ~6 TB after
connecting it with a USB cable.
When I connect it to ScientificLinux 5.3, I see only 2 TB
(with fdisk -l) and SL5.3 does not mount it.
StarTech claims that it works fine with Linux (but they did not
specify an OS or a kernel version)
Has anyone tried this device or has experience with this type of problem?
Thanks
