are the directory contents the same for both?
If you change one, does the other change as well?

It kind of looks to me as if the drive is mounted to two different locations, but I dont know if you can even do that.

Maybe post the contents of /etc/fstab/ here.

Is this causing you any problems, or just a curiosity?

post the output of df -h too.

This is the contents of the file

/dev/hda7 / auto defaults 1 1
tmpfs / tmpfs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate

/dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 ext3 auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate

hda7 is being mounted twice. remove above line from /etc/fstab file.

/dev/hda7 / auto defaults 1 1
/dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 ext3 auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate

There is your problem.

Its mounted as root partition and also mounted to /mnt/hda7

If it is the directory for your entire system, removing the second line
(/dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 ext3 auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate)

would solve your problem I THINK.

I'd wait for a second oppinion on that lol, I dont have enough faith in my own advise.

Edit: aah, casper beat me to it

Unfortunately, the problem returned after reboot backtrack
What can be done?

[rudie_rage]

Ok, I didnt actually know what backtrack was... I just looked it up now. A live CD distro? and it seems you've installed it to your harddrive.

If you've changed the file, and your still having troubles, it might be something in your init scripts that is mounting it twice.

Finding and editing init scripts is something I'm pretty horrible at. It took me a few hours of reading to get a vague idea of what files start what processes.

Although apparently backtrack is based on slackware, which means it probably has the same init system my computer does. If its the startup (or shutdown) that is the problem, Its probably going to be located in a file in /etc/rc.d/ .

Sorry I cant do more to help.
