Unable to mount USB thumb drive

When I enable "Automatic Drive Mount", even without specifying a uuid to mount, I see two devices (/dev/sda and /dev/sda1), which appear the same and which both get mounted to /opt as read-only:

root@LANdo:/etc/init.d# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw,relatime)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=512K)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
devpts on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda1 on /opt type ext2 (ro,relatime)
/dev/sda1 on /etc/profile type ext2 (ro,relatime)

This is reasonable enough except for the read-only setting which prevents the use of things like optware. Has anyone been able to do this successfully on the R8000?

** RESOLVED ** I mounted the drive on a PC with an Ubuntu disk and ran fsck, learning that the filesystem was corrupt on the flash drive. After repair it is now mounting properly. So not a fault of dd-wrt.
