On normal posix systems, fstab wouldn't create directories, it's a special OpenPLi feature that it does so.

The "/media" directory is in RAM, not on the flash, for a few good reasons:
- In case the mount fails, you may end up with the box recording to flash memory, which in a sort time will fill it up and crash the system. If something like this happens now, it will fill only 64k RAM and them harmlessly stop.
- It's a waste to write to flash memory (twice) just to have a mount point that is just an empty directory.
- It makes it possible for the mount scripts to assume that any directory in that location is really a mount point, and use it for "housekeeping".

Thank you for a great answer MiLo. I have played mostly with linux.That is why i did not check this option in fstab.

ok,,thank you,,i did not know that the fstab would create a directory.

I am still wonder how a nfs mount can be done when there are missing the directory "hdd" inside the /media . The /hdd symlink are pointed to /media/hdd . Adding a hdd directory in /media will be deleted after reboot. Is there anybody that know how this can be done ? I know i can of course make a script that start after every reboot " mkdir /media/hdd" ,but this is a workaround and i assume this is not the way it should be done

Hi,last time files in /media are missing.
There are no hdd directory, and this make problem to mount a nfs or a cifs mount.
Seems for me this problem also are in the latest 2.1 version.
When i create the hdd directory it is deleted after a reboot
