Another issue to tackle - I have an external 1 TB drive (2 500GB on a RAID). When I plug it into the server, it sees, via /var/log/messages, that a USB device was plugged in, but that's it. fdisk -l doesn't see it. dmesg doesn't do much, either. It is a Western Digital My Book II device.
I want to format it and use it for external storage, but can't until I get to it. What is the best way to get to the drive?
Thanks.

I don't own this external hard disk, but did a Google Query for you.

The cube has a built in, configurable RAID controller and is built for MACs (but runs on Windows, too). So don't start crying if it's not yet necessary. First I grabbed one of the seldom Windows boxes from my office (no Windows at home, but not dark at all) and installed the magic RAID controller utility shipped with the drive. One time "reconfiguring" it to "NTFS / RAID1" made it and the device showed up with 500G after pluggin it to the linux box. A second reconfiguration (on Windows) to "NTFS / RAID0" and it showed the up in its full majesty:
This worked perfectly.
Thanks.
