Help, problem with USB sticks

[zipper]

Hi,

I have a problem with the mounting of a usb stick,
the sandisk cruser 512Mb and the same with a apacer handy 128Mb.
I want to test the bluetooth solution. But I am not getting the stick to mount correctly. I also have a compatible hub. But for now I removed the hub and still the mounting is not working.
I need a mount on /mnt/usbfs/

Some points which may help:

-WL500g
-Firmware: 1.9.2.7-3c
-everything below is with the sandisk stick connected directly on the wl500g
-Sticks are FAT32 formated on a windows machine. (I also tried FAT)
-FTP is on.
-there are files on the stick.

Extract from the system log:

Any clues in what I am doing wrong?
Because I am going mad on this....
TIA,

Your stick is mounted to the /tmp/harddisk, not /mnt/usbfs. This is due to firmware differences: firmwares prior 1.8.x.x used /mnt/usbfs, while newer use /tmp/harddisk

[RoofCat]

if I am not mistaken it get mounted in tmp/harddisk (according to the log).

you may try to switch off ftp in web interface and make all mount job from scripts.

Thanks for the short but helpfull answer Oleg.

Than the way around this should be:

mount -o bind /tmp /mnt
ln -s /tmp/harddisk /mnt/usbfs

Looks like this is working.
