But in a previous post you wrote (if I got the quoting right): > sudo mount /dev/hda4 or sudo mount /dev/rex > > I get the response mount: /dev/hda4 already mounted or /rex busy. > However, df, mount and /mtab all show that /dev/hda4 is not mounted. which implies you were trying to mount something on /dev/rex.
