Today I rebooted my Gen2 My cloud. I was able to SSH into the device. Everything looked normal. I had plugged in a USB drive and was going to copy files off of the disk. But the disk was not mounted. So I went down stairs and found that the My Cloud had a red light. I unplugged the USB disk and the red light turned blue.
What I was trying to do was attach a 6TB disk that came out of a gen1 My Cloud that had disk problems. The disk can be mounted on a Linux system with out problems. Most of the files can be accessed. Checking the drive for errors shows that there are about 128 blocks that can’t be read. Since I have about 1TB of video on the disk I thought I could mount it on the new My Cloud and copy what files I could. Listed below is the dmesg output showing the problems trying to mount the disk. Why it is trying to mount as FAT? The disk had 8 partitions. But only /dev/sdb was created. I know that it only seems to mount the first partition.

PS posted this to show one of the ways to get a red light.
