OK, having hunted the forums some more, I've realised that the wl700ge is treating the two 500gb drives in the enclosure as a raid1 device. In fact, the enclosure CAN be setup as a hardware raid1 device and it used to be.
I've reconfigured it to be two separate drives, cleaned the rib entries from the drive, and I can partition the two drives independently from a PC.
For whatever reason though, the router keeps seeing the device as only one drive.
dmesg outputs:

Does anyone have any ideas on how to change this?
Thanks
