Hi,

For some reason, my 6000 (tosa) running 1.1.0beta1 cannot resolve the symbolic links that were once present and pointed happily to my SD card. I have verified that the card is still fine (big relief!) by mounting it on another system.

Could someone out there who's running 1.1.0beta1 and who has an active and mounted SD card please provide the output of the following (as root):

CODE

cd /
ls -l

I believe there will be 3 entries in the output that begin with "lrwxrwxrwx" i.e, they are symbolic links. Those are the 3 that I am interested in.

Thanks in advance.
Randall.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root {date} tmp -> /dev/shm/tmp

(1.1.0beta1 on c3100)

Thanks for the info. Something is weird as this is the ouput I am seeing:

CODE

Luckily, I have two SD cards that are copies of one another. One can be mounted reliably, and the other only sporadically. I am guessing that this is related to the strangeness in the listing above. The strange sym links above appear to terminate on the SD card somewhere... but I cannot decipher where. My thinking is that if I re-create the links manually, it might fix the problem.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Randall.
