I managed to figure that out after I sent the email. What confused me
was that for 1 and 2 TB drives fdisk -l says the drives are:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdc1 * 2048 3907029166 3907027119 1.8T 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
for 4 and 8 TB drives dfisk -l shows
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sdd1 34 262177 262144 128M Microsoft reserved
/dev/sdd2 264192 15628052479 15627788288 7.3T Microsoft basic data
so I assumed (incorrectly) FAT. It was only afterwards that I thought
NTFS.
Oh well, live and learn :-)

Hi Paolo,
If you have not started using the drive yet and your are not
going to share it with Windows or Mac, you can wipe the
drive (gparted --> device -> create partition table) and
set it to GPT (XP can't read GPT.) and ext4. You will
love the results.
