As far as im aware you cannot use the power saving mode while the DS it connected to the LS (it can only be used when connected directly to a PC)

 

Regarding the partition, has been said many time before, the LS cannot read NTFS based file systems, it has to be in XFS or EXT3 (or FAT32 for read only)

   I think you got me wrong my external HDD is formatted with 4 partitions 3 of them are ext3 and one is FAT32 . I am not able to see all partitions!

The Linkstation will not be able to access multiple partitions on an attached USB drive, it will likely only see the first partition.
