I've got an issue I've never seen before. I have an external USB/FW drive that 
originally had 3 partitions on it, all of which correctly mounted on the 
desktop. I used Drive Genius to resize partition 3 down by 20 GB and then 
created partition 4 in the save space.

Once this was complete . . .only partitions 1, 3, and 4 are visible in Finder. 
All 4 are visible in Disk Utility and Drive Genius and I can successfully open 
partition 2 by using Go to Folder and putting in /volumes/partition2. At that 
point . . .partition 2 shows in Finder but with a grayed out icon.

I've repaired the partition (no errors) and rebooted a couple of times to see 
what might be the issue.

The drive itself is formatted GUID, all 4 partitions are Mac OS X Extended and 
3 of the 4 have journaling enabled (including the one that is invisible).

I've checked the volume name for a leading period . . .at this point I'm 
running out of ideas. Anything I'm missing before I just try erasing the 
partition?

Thanks.
