Xbian can't find files on External HDD

[Fred]

Can you give some more details on this issue? From what I understand now it is mounted to /media/xxx but if you browse to /media/xxx you can't see any files?
For me it all just works fine, so I can't reproduce.

Try remounting the device and see if that helps. Here are the commands assuming your harddisk is /dev/sda1 (check with command 'df')

Terminal

sudo mkdir /media/testmount
sudo umount /dev/sda1
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/testmount

Check if you can find stuff in /media/testmount.
