You didn't say if this drive is new and unused or already used by an other computer (for example XP)?
New and unused.
expected it would. Running evmsgui
I don't know about evmsgui, so I suspect you have a special configuration anywhere..

Disk /dev/dm-0: 3150 MB,
this, again, I don't know of. 3150 MB, so 3.1 Gb sort of usb key?? probably better unplug it during the tests, just in case :-)
Disk /dev/dm-1: 48.3 GB, 48323520000 bytes
is your external usb drive 50Gb large? is yes, then you have got it.
No. The box says 250Gb.
it's not formatted.
or may be, there is only one /dev/dm drive with partition 0 and 1, so the two drives I spoke of are only one, 50GiB drives??
the first thing I would like to know before formatting is what is this "dm" disk type?
looks like this: http://oss.gonicus.de/openpower/index.php/Dm-multipath-vscsi
I followed the method explained but fell over here: dmsetup create dmtest dmtest.txt device-mapper: create ioctl failed: Device or resource busy Command failed
but here I have no knowledge to help you :-(
