sorry to bump a dead thread...
after tinkering with the GRUB initialisation file and removing autodiskmount, i managed to get my 1TB external drive showing up in xbmc. everything was going swimmingly.
however lately i have been noticing that it randomly unmounts itself, and only reappears after a reboot. this is really annoying especially since i am downloading torrents to this drive (and of course all my media is on it).
it disappears from the /media/sdb1/ path and the torrents pop up with a 'no such path exists'-kinda error. then of course i can't play any of the videos/music from my library until i restart. i can't tell if it's the transmission daemon causing this problem or XBMC itself.
also i suck at linux so i don't know how to try to remount from the console (or any other kind of debugging).
the drive is NTFS (i know, i know) and i'm using LIVE SVN dated march 1st, acer revo r3610.
