Author Topic: No CF in Launcher? (Read 1946 times)

I\'m not sure what caused it, but all of a sudden the launcher (under the file tab) no longer displays the name/icon for any CF card that I try. Under the display for \"My Zaurus\", it shows my SD Card but not my CF Card.
I know the card is mounted since I can access the files from the /mnt/cf directory in the console. Why would the launcher not display the CF? Is there some directory which holds the links for the directories displayed under the My Zaurus directory heading?
This one really has me puzzled. I am using a Zaurus SL-C760 with the original Japanese Sharp ROM 1.20 JP. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you backed up your data? Rebooting from one of old backup might solve your problem.

Many thanks to tumnus!

The FAQ that you referred me to included the following point:

There is a bug in smbmount which turns a file that is supposed to be a link to another file into a static copy and which is used to detect when a card has been inserted or ejected. To fix this, run the following command as root in the terminal:

ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

Entering the above command solved the problem. Thank you again!
