This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so
does not expect a backport

Title:
  My 3TB Seagate external HD is seen but no longer recognised

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 11.10. My trhree 3TB external Seagate Go Flex HDs
  used to work very well. They were formatted with ext4 fs (if I
  remember correctly). The problem is that I can no longer mount them
  and access the contents. The HDs are seen by the Disk Utility but it
  is not possible to mount them anymore. I did nothing out of the
  ordinary to the them. The data within these disks are all my phd
  results; therefore, very precious to me. When I do fdisk -l, the
  message displayed says something about size being 4096 (not 512). I
  have tried everything: google, loading live newer versions of Ubuntu,
  etc. Nothing seems to work. Any help would be very much appreciated.
  Thanks.

  Note: when i run apt-cache policy pkgname, I get  "N: Unable to locate
  package pkgname"
