It is odd that you are both mounting the drive (/dev/sdb) and its
partition (/dev/sdb1).
Robert,
That's because /var/log/messages told me that almost all my USB flash
drives are seen as /dev/sdb1, while the 3T Seagate external drive is seen as
/dev/sdb. When I insert a flash drive I can mount it on /mnt/thumb or
//mnt/flashdrive. When I want to use the large drive I mount it on /mnt/hd.
I don't understand why /media/hd0 shows 2 mounted ext3 partitions,
/dev/sdb on /media/hd0 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdc on /media/hd0 type ext3 (rw)
It's also odd that df does not match /etc/fstab, e.g. sdc vs sdc1,
/mnt/flashdrive vs /media/hd0.
I will gladly change the backup drive's mount point to /mnt/hd (or a new
/mnt/backup) since it and the 3T hard drive will not be mounted
simultaneously if this resolves the issue.
Thanks,
Rich
