I am running build 17140M. I know its old but upgrading means having to rewrite all of my scripts.

Anyways, i have a usb hard drive that is always attached to the router - it mounts to /mnt  through automount in the webui.I then mount the /mnt/opt folder to /opt

I want to be able to mount a usb pen drive to /mmc to copy files quickly from the router itself (without having to copy thm to a computer).

I can mount EXT3 formatted pen drives easily enough but NTFS sometimes doesnt mount and fat32 almost never.But the problem i really have is that when it does mount, it often mounts to both /mnt as well as /mmc.I think the automount feature in te webui makes the pendrive mount to /mnt also. this is the command i use

mount /dev/discs/disc1/part1 /mmc

If I disable automount, I cant mount the harddisc manually either. So how do I mount my pen drive?

*correction. NTFS is just as hard to mount as FAT32.It mounts only rarely and when it does, it mounts to /mnt also.


Ive installed ntfs-3g btw.

this is the result that I get from lsmod

I can  mount using ntfs-3g /dev/discs/disc1/part1 /mmc but it still mounts over /mnt as well.

That also stops minidlna from scanning any more files ( /mnt/share is minidlna library). How do I prevent double mounting? Also the cp command for copying files is veey slow!
