External hard disk mounting issues

I've been using my external Seagate Backup+ 1tb hard drive under Arch for quite a while now.
However, after a recent upgrade, the system has not been able to auto-mount the drive. I'm under the GNOME 3.x environment.
I'm able to mount and use the drive perfectly under Windows, however.

Here is the output of dmesg:

[22260.534638] usb 4-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[22260.563491] scsi7 : uas

I'm not sure but it seems like the drive's detecting well, but the "uas_eh_abort_handler" is causing an issue?
Any help would be great, guys. Thanks!

EDIT: Here is the output of "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" followed by a "p":

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.24.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.
