And the answer is:

The drive was not recognized as partitioned  and formated as two ext3 partitions of size 1.5T.
even after I partitioned it on a modern sid system. 
The old debian kernel 2.6-18-2 recognized the gpt identity, but would not mount the drive.

Oh well, I will have to take the machine down and update before backup.

Thanks
