3.0.0.4.220.17 Merlin: troubles with mounting USB HD

After flashing the new merlin build my toshiba USB-HD (500 GB) is recognized, but will not be mounted. Same behavior was to be seen after flashing the stock firmware 3.0.0.0.4.220 Asus - therefore, I guess it has to be an Asus bug...

The HD seems to have been recognized, but i not mounted. Besides, I'm told that "USB function is disabled"...

On the next screenshot you can see the label of the HD, but "unmounted"...

In the syslog I can find the following lines:

Jan 1 00:00:14 kernel: scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access TOSHIBA MQ01ABD050 AX00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0

Jan 1 00:00:17 hotplug[585]: USB partition unmounted from /tmp/mnt/ASPRO

Strange, that the syslog reports the drive had been mounted ("ASPRO" is the label of the HD), and after the start of crond-job (busybox) the partition is unmounted again...

Flashing back to 3.0.0.3.178.16 Beta 2 Merlin everything is as it should be:

Try to give it some time. If the filesystem is being scanned for errors, then it can take a while for this operation to complete. The drive will only be mounted after the filesystem scan is completed.

That was it... My Toshiba drive now ist mounted... I had to wait some 10 minutes and afterthat period the drive was accessible. :D

Thank you very much indeed for the excellent support...
