Hey ewok,
Can I send you my logs as well? I am having a similar problem.
I am using a 6TB 3200 and have connected 2 x 6GB external USB drives to it for backup purposes. Frontview reports the raw size of the devices as just 5.8TB, but when formatted as EXT3 creates a partition of 1.4TB, leaving the rest of the drive unusable.
I have connected both of the drives to a Linux machine and formatted the disks using GParted as GPT disks with a single partition using all of the available disk space. When connecting them to the 3200 again Frontview reports them as raw disks of 5.8TB again, and will only partition and format to 1.4TB
