Mtdblock

[geek_riot]

hello, I was using ROX filer, and when i go to the "home" file, I get this error:
mounting /home
mount: special device /dev/mtdblock/3 does not exist
Mount failed

Done
There was one error.

Any ideas as to what this means?

When I do a df -h

I have two  /dev/mtdblock/2   entries.

I can't comment on the two /dev/mtdblock/2 entries without knowing the associated mount points but potentially the Rox filer error is as follows.

Did you by any chance size your NAND for root to the maximum size? normally pdaXrom mounts mtdblock3 on /home if it is available. If you sized root to max then this isn't available and you would get a small error during startup and probably no more problems after than.

If this is the case then I'm assuming /etc/fstab still has the default mount point information for /home which tries to mount the nonexistant partition in flash for /home... I'm further assuming that Rox filer is fstab aware and is trying to mount it and being verbose about the error it recieves. - this being the case you should be able to fix it by commenting out the /home mount in /etc/fstab.
