Sure - the probably easiest way is creating one large ext2 partition on
the disk (just fdisk, not mke2fs!), then doing something along the lines
of
PARTITION=/dev/whateveryourhugepartitioniscalled
SECT=0
while true; do
if dumpe2fs -ob$SECT $PARTITION &>/dev/null; then
echo Possible start of partition at sector $SECT
fi
SECT=`expr $SECT + 1`
done
Then create a partition starting there and try mounting it.
This is not exactly a clean way, but it should work and can't
hurt.
