Have you guys considered the drive may have a GPT instead of a standard IBM Partition Table? They are the defacto standard for large drives and required for over 2TB drives.
fdisk does NOT support them. Vista / Win 2008 does for non-boot drives. (Older does not.)
Many / all Macs use GPT by default, even for the boot drive.
Trouble is I don't know how to check for a GPT from Linux. (I have commercial tools I use that handle it transparently.)
The linux kernel should autodetect a GPT I'm pretty sure, but who knows how often that gets tested.
Good point, Greg. I've had recent experience with GPT. Yast's partitioner will create and work with them, as will the kernel once booted. The only problem was booting with grub. As long as your boot partition is non GPT there shouldn't be any problems. So Yast's partitioner might be able to work with this particular disk, if it is GPT.
