Hi,

Had my AA1 a few weeks now and been busy tweaking it with aid of this forum, but seems like I’ve hit a wall with my current problem.

My AA1 is running standard Linux Linpus OS and I’ve been trying to mount an external USB hard drive / pen drive, but I get the following problem:-

When I 1st insert pen / hard drive I get this error: ( Unable to mount mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on / mount failed ) oddly when I try and insert a 2nd pen / hard drive into spare USB port ,that mounts with no problem.

I’ve downloaded ntfs-3g as the hard drives are NTFS type / pen drive formatted to fat32


My fstab & mtab files below:

fstab file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

/dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults,noatime 1 1
/dev/sdb1 / ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0

#none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0

fstab config:

/dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults,noatime 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
#none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0

mtab :
/dev/sda1 / ext2 rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw 0 0
none /mnt/home aufs rw,si=dde5fcc0,xino=/home/user/.aufs.xino,create=mfs,dirs=/home/user=rw:/tmp/posixdir=rw 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/disk vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,utf8,shortname=winnt,uid=500 0 0
posix-overlay(/media/disk) /tmp/posixdir fuse.posixovl rw,nosuid,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0

Is there something missing or do I need to change part of the file script so external drive / pen mounts 1st time.

I would be grateful for any help cheers
