Ted, thanks for taking the time to reply to my problem in such a prompt manner.
- Using an old 2 TB drive instead of the 6 TB drive: GPF (so it's not related to the drives or the large capacity) - mainline/v3.17.3 kernel: GPF - Debian wheezy live cd: GPF - mkfs.ext3 to a USB-stick: worked flawlessly Interestingly, two 120 GB SSDs work just fine with everything I throw at them. I can't believe I'm the only one affected by this problem, the Gigabyte H97N-WIFI board is available since April... but for the moment it looks im SOL. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393151 Title: mkfs.ext3 causes kernel panic on new WD 6 TB drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1393151/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
