I have two problems with drive mounting. One has been going on for a while the other has just happened. As my linux expertise is limited I'm stumped as to why these issues occur.
The first problem is that if I boot straight into XBMC my external drives don't mount correctly. Instead of mounting to /media/xbmc/ they mount to /media/. To cure the problem I have to:-
1. Exit out of XBMC into XBMCBuntu
2. Unmount my drives using file manager (right click ---> Unmount)
3. Re-mount my drives using file manager (right click ---> Mount)
4. Exit out of XBMCBuntu back into XBMC
The second problem occured after I had to do a re-install of XBMCBuntu.
Now when I use the method above to get my drives correctly mounted they end up with an extra 1 at the end of their mount point so /media/xbmc/Backup1 becomes /media/xbmc/Backup11 and /media/xbmc/Backup2 becomes /media/xbmc/Backup21.
In order to cure this I have to use the umount and mount commands to specify the correct mount points.
