Edit /etc/enigma2/automounts.xml manual or create it in the right format

or

with RC go in the menu to System-Network-LAN and then go into the mount manager

It's currently "autoplay" that misbehaving.

Just press the video (or PVR) button and use the yellow button to browse to the USB stick. Or just navigate one up from /media/hdd, and go to /media/usb from there.

Edit /etc/enigma2/automounts.xml ...

That's for network mounts.

USB sticks and similar devices need no special attention, they are automatically recognized and mounted.

NO that did not help still no file on my mdc1
I believe its not mounted probably, and remember it is a nfst partition

[hemispherical1]

Are you trying to say NTFS, rather than nfst ?

Type the "mount" command on telnet to see what is mounted where.

If it does not recognize your usb device, try re-inserting it, wait a few seconds and type the "dmesg" command and post the output here.

[MiLo]

Your USB disk is mounted at /media/usb, i see no problem there.

[Mr Cool Span]

Your USB disk is mounted at /media/usb, i see no problem there.

Then way cant I accede it ??
I relay need some help on this

[nfnovice]

Your USB disk is mounted at /media/usb, i see no problem there.

That might be his USB stick with swap on that he mentioned in post 1

the problem might be mounting both usb stick and usb disk at same time ?

[MiLo]

What are you trying to do? When can't you access it? What have you tried so far? ...

Just repeating "it does not work" and "I need help" is not going to get us much further. So instead of those one-liners, explain what you do, what you expect to happen, etcetera.

[libolibo]

I have a similar issue. I am using a DM 800 SE.
I insert the USB disk but I cannot see any file I have on the disk meaning that in /media/usb I have a usr folder that contains a lib/ipkg/... I don't know what it is.

here is the output of dmesg
root@dm800se /media # dmesg | grep usb
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub

here is mount

Hope someone could help us!
Thank you in advance for your time

[pieterg]

and without grep usb? There should be /dev/sd? messages.
And don't stay in /media/usb with your shell, that might cause the mount to fail (mountpoint busy)

[libolibo]

I forgot to say I am using a nightly build OpenPLi-beta-dm800se-20101231.nfi
Couldn't my issue be related to a libusb-compat and this commit:
http://bit.ly/hyTopN

[pieterg]

no, not at all. libusb is only used by ambx

[libolibo]

Ok thank you for quick reply. :-)
I will give a better try tonight at home, so I can post a more detailed dmesg


Since I am anyway using a nightly build do you think it's safe enough to install a openpli 2.0-pre13 or I better keep stuck with the OpenPLi-beta-dm800se-20101231.

[pieterg]

there should be no more reason to stick with a 1.0 beta, at the moment.

[libolibo]

OK now I am running openPLi2.0 pre13 and here is the output

looks like there is an issue with sda: unknown partition table

[libolibo]

ok it mounts fine MS-DOS FAT, but not MS-DOS FAT32.
is this a known issue?
