It means the file is a block device node. Typically control of that
file/device is through a device driver. In this case these are
respectively your second SCSI (or emulated SCSI, such as sATA) disk
device, and the first addressable partition on that device.

Yes it's an usb external hard drive I've been playing with, reformatted
it to vfat and then messed with gparted although I did not intentionally
change anything it no longer appears on my desktop. While doing this I
was curious about the brw-rw----. Thought it might contribute to my
problem, no sure if it wa there before ...
