Multiple Partition EXT USB + MultiMan 4.17

Hello everyone, i'm running MM 4.17
now i've partitioned a 500gb usb drive as follow:
1.NTFS my data
2.Fat32 my data
3. Fat32 PS3 Backups (\GAMES, etc)

when i insert the drive, multiman only "see" the 2nd partition where i have my ersonal data and i would like it to see the 3rd partition;
are there any limitations or do i have to work with the usb.cfg file? how?

Thanks

IIRC USB.cfg is just for switching to NTFS http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/MultiMan#USB.CFG

Although:
VENDOR_ID:PRODUCT_ID:NUM_OF_PARTITIONS
Perhaps you can speficy 3 partitions and mM will then read them?

You could try switch your 3rd partition to primary using minitool or something like that to make it be seen as the only active by mm

mM is updated to 04.19.01 now too

thanks for your answer.
usb.cfg is only for ntfs, ok but i'll try
i'll try to switch partitions number with acronis
my concerns that i would like to ask confirmation is that multiman only supports 2 partitions
???

since version 04.14.00 its like this :

NTFS/PFS usage:

It is now possible to use any NTFS usb drive without configuring its Vendor/Device IDs in USB.CFG
When switching to NTFS/PFS mode use only one USB HDD connected (mM supports up to 2 partitions: FAT32+NTFS, NTFS+NTFS, FAT32+FAT32)
To access the contents of NTFS drives use mmOS and /pvd_usb000 /pvd_usb001 (games from NTFS drives won't show in other display modes)
