What is scsi , a subdirectory to the directory where you are when issuing the command?

Use full path!

@LOM: Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It is now working after trying the following:

Use the context clue to determine which path to mount to the target directory.
======================================================

root@HOSTNAME:~# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
devpts on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /jffs type ext3 (rw)

root@HOSTNAME:~# ls /dev/discs/disc0/
disc part1 part2

Code:
root@HOSTNAME:~# mount /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /opt

root@HOSTNAME:~# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
devpts on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /jffs type ext3 (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 on /opt type ext2 (rw)

Test partition by creating a text file:
============================

root@HOSTNAME:~# touch /opt/test.txt
root@HOSTNAME:~# ls /opt
lost+found test.txt

root@HOSTNAME:~# uname -r
2.4.37
root@HOSTNAME:~# uname -r > /opt/test.txt
root@HOSTNAME:~# vi /opt/test.txt
2.4.37


Automount
==========
Cretated a file /jffs/MountUSB.sh:

Code:
insmod /jffs/ext2.o
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /opt


Configured script to run at bootup here:

Services Menu => USB Menu => Run-on-mount Script Name = /jffs/MountUSB.sh

Next?
=====
Wondering if a remotely deployed WL520GU can be outfitted with a fresh USB flash drive and formatted with a small ext3 partition and large ext2 from the CLI?

ext2, yes. ext3, no. I filed a bug a year or so ago and I got a specific response from BrainSlayer about DD-WRT does not support ext3. As the way it was worded, I believe that the module is only for reading as you cannot format an ext3 partition with DD-WRT. As for ext2, I have used that just fine.
