I have same problem. In Snake 1.20. The Hard Disk is a Samsung HD154UI 1,5 tb 
size.

The hard disk is formated normally, but wont mount.

I have a 3TB (2.7) with 4 partions. (WD By Book)

In ssh to snake fdisk -l reports...

Disk /dev/sdb: 801.5 GB, 801535688704 bytes <<<<< NOTE HERE THE 801.5GB
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12180 cylinders <<<< AND 12180 cylinders

/dev/sdb4           11400       22800   732558336  83 Linux

In debian it reports...

/dev/sdb4           11400       22800   732558336   83  Linux

Only the 1st and 4th partitions will mount. The 1st seems fine, the 4th mounted 
but gave errors list directories, and then when brought back to debian needed 
an fsck to fix something.

I am using snakeos-V1.3.2-20101130-from-original.bin. My little 320GB hard disk 
is fine.

Thanks for you time.

Same problem:

BusyBox v1.18.5 (2011-10-19 23:26:11 CEST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/mtdblock0 doesn't contain a valid partition table

Disk /dev/sda: 1500.3 GB, 1500301910016 bytes

The snake print:

#3
That looks like one of those new 4k or "advanced format" drives. I guess the 
kernel doesn't know how to handle those.

#4
The fdisk output doesn't look that off. Can you try to format the disk on 
another computer? Temporarily using an usb stick as swap disk while formating 
may work too. mkfs.ext3 likes to run out of memory on large disks.

The snake output is unusual. The value is calculated by dividing 
/sys/block/sda/size (number of 512 byte blocks (I guess 4096 for newer drives)) 
by 2048. I can't imagine how it got to that bumber.

You need to compile the kernel with GPT partition support so that it can 
understand 4k block size.

I have the same issue with a USB 3TB Seagate drive after a Snake OS Format. 
Also only have  about 700MB total space.  But I can see it as share in WIN 7 
network when its connected to NAS.   
Now I can't see the drive in WIN 7 explorer now. So I can't format in WIN 7.

Any way of re-formatting the USB drive back to NTFS?
