Is there a problem with 1 Tb disks (or larger) in Opensuse 11?
Yesterday I bought a Western Digital Caviar Black, model WD1001FALS-00J780. I put it into an external cabinet, attached the USB cord to the computer and started Opensuse 11.
The disk did not appear in Konqueror, so I went into Yast2. There was no indication that there was any disk attached, and I tried Yast (the text-based older version). There the disk came up, but Yast claimed that the disk was 2 Tb instead of 1 Tb. I started formatting, but the process stopped with no success and I could not format the disk.
I use them. They usually only support USB2, not the slower USB1, like smaller disks often do. So it must be a USB2 port that it is connected to. Do you see the disk if you type: lsusb If not, the problem is at the usb level If you see it in lsusb, do you see it in lsscsi ?
What is the source of the problem, and how to remedy it.
I shall be thankful for all help.
