How can you be so sure? If a mount point contains ANY files, it must be mounted. If there are REAL (unmounted) files in the mount point folder, then the mount cannot succeed. And how could those files get there in the first place?

It seems rather coincidental that a mount point contains files if it is not mounted, but then deleting those files also deleted the contents of the USB drive. That sure looks like it WAS mounted when you deleted it. How else can you explain it? How are you so sure that it was NOT mounted?

When I accessed my kindle from the serial port during bootup, I had root access to the USB drive mounted on /mnt/us, on both my K4 and my K5. I suspect that the K3 acts the same way.
