Mounting external hard-disk
« on: March 11, 2012, 10:40:44 AM »

Hi, I took a look in several topics and guides but still can't make it work properly... I have a DNS-320 2.0b with the Fun-Plug installed and want to run an external hard-disk as a place where CouchPotato will save files.

Currently when I plug my external HD, I can access it via network but I can't find it via ssh. I know that it's in /dev/sdc1 but I'm unable to mount it.

When I try to mount it, the following error appears: mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /mnt/USB busy

When I run mount to see if it's mounted already I can't find it there but when I check "cat /proc/mounts" I can see that there's some information about the HD:

/dev/sdc1 /mnt/USB/HD_c1 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0

Does anyone knows how I can mount it properly? I tried to format it in ext3 as well and it says that the HD is in use but I'm not sure how to stop it.

Thanks

Hi,

As far as i know the solution is one: ext2. I've tried almost all possible options and with ext2 there are no  problems at all!
