If I have to edit fstab, it is not "recognizing" it. edit FSTAB EACH time, because it might not always go into the same port on the usb hub. and I want to use that hub for other storage too. winblows just recognizes it and mounts it. Don't we claim linux is better then winblows? not here it isn't. <pre>--Carey</pre>

Linux do recognize and can mount it. You may have to edit /etc/fstab. --

Yes, it appears to just be one big filesystem
1. why is GParted unwilling to recognize that? 2. is there some command I can do in gparted to recognize it? 3. why is Linux unwilling to recognize and mount it 4. is there something I can add to linux so that it will? 5. or recommendations for formatting in gparted so winblows and linux can both use this (I back up winblows user data to usb disks, some data going to linux, some going just to archive)

Yes, and I use the entire disk in my btrfs raid.
Try 'lsblk -f'. It will show if it's this or not. --

Sometimes USB devices have no partitions and they just have a filesystem on the entire device.
