Starting today, OpenPLi 3.0 will no longer default to mount USB sticks and similar devices as "/media/usb". Instead, it uses the LABEL of the disk as mount point name. This is similar to what Ubuntu does when you insert a stick.
The result may be that your USB device is no longer available on the spot where it used to be, in particular when using it for recording this may be a nuisance.
On the bright side, it can make mounting multiple USB disks much easier. Examples:
- A factory-formatted sandisk stick will probably be mounted as "SANDISK" or something similar.
- To have your USB disk mounted as /media/hdd, just label the disk "hdd" (use tune2fs to set the label of an EXT2/3/4 formatted disk).
- If you have a red USB stick, plug in in a Windows PC and rename it to "Red". Insert it into the box and it will appear as /media/Red.
If you upgraded this morning, there is a problem with labels containing spaces, resulting in the device not being mounted at all. You can work around it by renaming the disk to something without spaces. Builds are running, so in an hour or so, the problem should be gone.
