I've got a partition on an external HDD.
This morning I mounted it (mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/MAXext3) (as su) and
worked with it (rsync) as ordinary user. The rsync went fine. Then I
switched back to root (su) and did umount /mnt/MAXext3. I initially got
a message that /mnt/MAXext3 was busy. So I went back to ordinary user
and cd'd away from there. Then returned to root and did the umount
again. This time it seemed to work. I disconnected the HDD (USB2) and
turned it off.
But now when I try to remount (mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/MAXext3) I this
error message: /dev/sdb3 does not exist.
What's happening?
