This change appeared on newer builds after 17201. It breaks the usb mounting. Also, dd-wrt is mounting my 2 partitions on /opt. Cant mount on /mnt. Its making a mess on the files and folders and can only access 1 partition (the last mounted)

Yeah...its a problem for sure....but this is what I created as a startup script....it now mounts correctly and I can access my \mnt data just fine.

Code:
sleep 15
umount /opt
umount /opt
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part4 /mnt

Thanks for the help.
I manage to fix it. I had to include a mkdir /tmp/mnt before mounting on startup. I also disabled automount so i dont need to umount the /opt first.
Why do you mount a partition on tmp/c? I wish i could increase ram with the usb drive.

Its been awhile since I looked at it...but I'm pretty sure the /tmp/c is used by OTRW for swap space.
Setting up optware with a 16Gb USB flash drive on my Asus RT-N16 running R18024 following Frater's Optware The Right Way I had the same problem.
The two ext3 partitions for optware and data were mounted on /opt. Optware works, but I couldn't access the data partition. After a little trial and error, Redhawk's solution corrected the problem.
A couple of points:
I had to leave the USB automount running;
For some reason the data partition was in /dev/discs/disc0/part1 and the optware partition in part 3;
The swap partition was in part2, but once optware was correctly mounted, the swapfile took care of itself.
So my startup command reads:
Code:
sleep 15
umount /opt
umount /opt
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /mnt
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /opt
