Large hard drive > 2Tb on Raspberry Pi

[mattpepin]

When I connect a 3 Tb hard drive to my Pi, the reported size with lsblk (or any other utility) is 746.5 GiB, 801569726464 bytes. I think this is because the kernel is not configured for large HD support. What do I need to do? I there a precompiled kernel for the Pi with this support? If not, what do I need to enable? Is it only "CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION"? Where can I get PKGBUILDs for arm version of Arch packages? I can probably recompile the kernel with makepkg on the Pi itself?

Thanks!

CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION .. I'd have to look @ the Kconfig and docs as to what the one does, if it is not turned on.

Thanks.

As a reminder to myself, I also have to check CONFIG_LBD.

Ok I checked the PKGBUILD for linux-raspberrypi. Both CONFIG_LBDAF and CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION are set to "y". What else could it be? It works fine the the raspbian dist.

What is the sector size reported by each distribution?

Ah! I figured it out. I was wasting my time (and yours :P, sorry). It turns out it was a cheap USB enclosure that did not support > 2Tb drives. Everything's fine! Thanks for your help. :)
