I should have said that I have formatted the larger part of the drive as ext3
and a small part as vfat.  Maybe I have to go back to usb connection and set
the partitions as shareable, so that samba can read them.

I would expect that whatever firmware is in your drive would know
about vfat (and possibly NTFS), but would not know about ext3.  Of
course, I could be very pleasantly surprised about that.
