Oho! That's interesting, and most definitely not at all what I experienced. The BIOS could see the devices and the SI RAID card could talk to them, and of course fdisk wouldn't help, but parted still couldn't make a drive label & partition table beyond 2T.
Wait. Parted can not initialize a disk bigger than 2 TiB (not 2 TB) using traditional partitions, on MBR. You have to use GPT for those. Parted or anything would have the same problem. If you were using a parted version that did not know about GPT, it would bail out, of course. Irrelevant of where the disk was connected to. And of course, you would not be able to boot from that disk, unless your board is new enough to have UEFI, not BIOS. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
