We have StarTech external multi-bay hard drive enclosure
  ( 4x3.5" drives, SATA), S354UFER.
   It has 2TB drives and  is configured for Raid5.
   Disks are partitioned using ext3 (gpt partition table)

  Ubuntu 9.08 works fine:  it sees ~6 TB after
  connecting it with  a USB cable.

  When I connect it to ScientificLinux 5.3, I see only 2 TB
  (with fdisk -l) and SL5.3 does not mount it.

  StarTech claims that it works fine with Linux (but they did not
  specify an OS or a kernel version)

  Has anyone tried this device or has experience with this type of problem?

Thanks
