/mnt/card disappears!
I'm using Turbolinux 10 Desktop. I've noticed a very strange thing happening... for some reason, the directory I created for mounting an SD card disappears at reboot!
I always name it /mnt/card. I have the following entry for it in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/card vfat noauto,user,exec 0 0 As far as the functionality is concerned, I can always mount the SD card by typing "mount /mnt/card" as myself. I can also read/write from the card. The only problem is, I have to re-create the directory each time I reboot the machine! Have you guys seen anything like this before? If so, what can I do to fix this problem? Thanks, Dai |
Hi,
Not sure if it's related, but I have a similar problem with my zip drive. The workaround for me, is to make sure that there's a disk in the drive when I reboot. John |

/mnt isn't any sort of unusual (non-persistent) partition, is it? (i.e., ramdisk)

That is VERY odd. Do other directories in /mnt persist properly?

Just for kicks, try maybe /mnt/sdcard and see if it persists. I know you want /mnt/card, but let's just see if we can figure out that cause.

No problem. If this solves the problem, I have to wonder if some script somewhere rm's /mnt/card. Can't imagine why, but it's worth checking.

First, renaming the directory to /mnt/sdcard per se did not solve the problem. However, that meant /etc/fstab did not have the correct entry anymore (since it still has /mnt/card as the mount point), and that seems to have been it! Apparently, the following line in my /etc/fstab was the culprit: /dev/sda1 /mnt/card vfat noauto,user,exec 0 0 Why? I have no idea. Once I renamed it to /mnt/sdcard in /etc/fstab to corrrectly match the new name, then /mnt/sdcard started disappearing again... |
Some sort of software removing mount points? Weird.
