I have a 1TB drive in a USB enclosure that I was using as a backup for the drives in the DNS 323. It was connected to the DNS 323 through its USB port. Now when I connect the USB enclosure directly to my Linux computer, the directory that automatically pops open is /media/d9ed81fb-4460-4d88-90bc-fd7002a036e6. Within that directory are 3 directories named backup, .lpd, and .systemfile. What is this?!
Running the 'df' command shows the following, which confuses me because I have a 1TB fully functioning drive when it's connected to the DNS 323 but now that it's connected to the Linux laptop it's only showing a 500M section:
/dev/sdb4 ext2 487M 5.5M 481M 2% /media/d9ed81fb-4460-4d88-90bc-fd7002a036e6
If I run a 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb', I get the following output:
Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204884992 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 66 530113+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb2 131 121404 974133405 83 Linux
/dev/sdb4 67 130 514080 83 Linux
I'd like to be able to both access and modify files on the USB enclosure by simply connecting it to my Linux laptop - but clearly something weird is going on here. Could somebody help explain what might be happening here and how to solve it?

Yes, when I do 'ls -al /media/' the only result that appears is '/media/d9ed81fb-4460-4d88-90bc-fd7002a036e6', and within that directory are 3 directories backup, .lpd, and .systemfile.
When I try to mount /dev/sdb1 I get '/dev/sdb1 looks like swapspace - not mounted', and when I try to mount /dev/sdb2 I get 'mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member''.
If anyone has any ideas about what could be going on here and how I can resolve it, that would be great. Thanks.

Have you tried mounting /dev/sdb2 ?

How did you format the external disk and what file system did you use?
