Hi All,
I have been searching around for this topic, found quite number sources from forum; website etc.... I have tried every single method that each source suggested. But it's been a week, my drive is still not working. I hope someone could really give me a hand on it and get the ball rolling.
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 ( 2.6.32.38 )
Target:
Partition: 2 x 1.5TB
Table: GPT
File system: ext4
Purpose: Storage & file server
Program used: Gparted GUI & Commend line
Gparted GUI:
1, Device > Create Partition Table > select GTP under Advanced>press apply
2, Partition > New >
-- Free space preceding (Mib): 2 (Tried 1 as well, no luck)
-- New Size (Mib): 1430792
-- Free space following (MiB):1430792

-- File system: ext4

-- Free space preceding (Mib): 0

After a while error occur, and the whole system very slow, it took 10 minutes to restart the system. I have saved the details below:

Above seems working nicely, and ready to roll. Unfortunately, the OS become very slow again. restarted the system, there is no partitions being created.
Could anyone give me a warm hand here 
.
Many thanks
