    I use two 36 GB disks. I also was unable to partition them, but I could
    mke2fs on the whole disk. I now mount the top devices directly:

    Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sdb 34443777 316217 32349236 1% /usr/local0
    /dev/sdc 34443777 9406953 23258500 29% /usr/local1

    It seems to be a problem with fdisk
