ASUS RT-N56U router Linux create mount point issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On my RT-N56U router I'm trying to create a ext3 partition on an attached usb 
drive to store my media center data. The problem is I am unable to create to a 
mount point after creating the partition. When I run this command: mkdir 
/media/AiDisk_a1, it says it can't do it because file system is read only. How 
can I mount my ext3 partition to /media/AiDisk_a1?

This guide: http://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/wiki/HowToConfigureOptware seems 
to suggest that this will work.

Is it not mounted automatically? run "mount", it is probably already there.

Try to check the file system on your drive.

You can see all detailed errors in system log.

It works, just differently than I thought. I removed and re-added the drive and 
it auto mounted it to /tmp/mnt/sda1. So I unmounted and manually remounted to 
/tmp/mnt/Content to have a cleaner Samba share name. What I need to figure out 
now is how to have it auto-mount back to the same mount point after power 
outage.

use labels on hdd volumes (partitions).
http://linux.seindal.dk/2005/06/02/labels-on-ext2-and-ext3-filesystems/

this way the disk will be automatically mounted as /media/YOURLABEL instead of 
/media/AiDisk_xY
