After one of my two hard drives gave up the ghost, I've been suspicious that the player might somehow think it's still got two disk drives. Reasoning: I still see a "drive1" when I quit to the shell and type "ls". There have also been some other messages on the serial port which made me suspicious, such as "ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/hda4 is mounted."

For reference, here's the chronology of events:

- Original system has 4gb drive.
- I temporarily remove the 4gb drive and put only the 6gb drive in the player.
- I use Mike's formatting kernel to format the 6gb drive.
- I install one of the Beta 10 versions of the player software onto that 6gb drive.
- I move the 6gb drive to the secondary controller and plug the 4gb back into the primary controller.
- I now have 10gb and it works well for several months.
- The 4gb drive goes south, so I remove it and put the 6gb on the primary controller.
- The 6gb drive works fine as my only drive and I upgrade the beta10 software to 1.01, and I re-upload my music (still had less than 6gb total to put in the player).

So does my player really think it's got more drives than it should? How do I tell it otherwise?
