New USB Disk Wont mount

[Jocko]

Hi rafesl,

I think that you need more explanations...

So about the orphan /share/1000/Volume_1. You must get it because after unplugging the disk, some times the firmware fails to unmount fully the usb disk and you have a fake partition /share/1000/Volume_1 in mount tab. (then df lists it wrongly). This can happen when the mounted partition was busy when the firmware tried to unmount it.

Usually, this doesn't prevent to mount again the usb disk : just have twice the same line: /dev/sd?1 on /share/1000/Volume_1 ...; and you keep this orphan line up to reboot the NAS

When you plug a usb disk, the firmware does these jobs :
- mount the usb partition in the folder /mnt (mountpoint: /mnt/Volume_1)
Note: if a partition is already mounted with this name then the firmware adds again a suffix and so the mountpoint will be /mnt/Volume_1_1
- remount the usb partition in the folder /share/1000 (mountpoint: /share/1000/Volume_1): need for the ftp server.

So you should already get the path that you want and no need to create a symlink. :shocked

thanks for the 15.1 fix.
It solved my path problems that I didn't know the source of.

Hi rafesl

Indeed, your problem was almost the same than mdi.
I needed time to understand where was the malfunction.
