Hi,
I need to back up a lot of data from old etch system running kernel 2.6.18-6#1
System is remote from where I am. I had them connect a 3Terabyte mybook from wd.
unfortunately I am running into the fdisk doesnt work with 3T drives problem,
so i installed
parted, and old parted on this legacy system (etch) which is 1.7.1
failed to create the partitions and
confessed to me

***************************************************
So I had the remote people
take the drive to a more modern sid machine
and
using parted version 2.3
I was able to create a gpt partition table
and partition into two 1.5TB partitions with ext3.
So my question is, will the two partitions be mountable and usable on the
original ext3 system?
I am hoping the answer is yes. It will take a few long drives back and forth to
find out :)
Thanks
Mitchell
