I use Cathy (http://rva.mtg.sk/) to catalog partitioned 2T drives and have done for years. About a year ago I started getting errors, likely because I moved to single partition 4T drives or lost out after a Windows 10 upgrade. The program just couldn't parse the data anymore and would freeze or end abruptly. Source: 5 months ago
