unable to mount usb.

[Eial Czerwacki]

Hello all,

my system configuration is
kernel 2.6.38.8 with busybox version 1.19.2 build using buildroot on
uclibc 0.9.32

I have usb device attached to the machine sdb1
when I am trying to mount it , it fails with the following error.

mount /etc/sdb1 /mnt/disk
mount: mounting /etc/sdb1 on /mnt/disk failed: No such file or directory

my usb device is formatted in ex2 mode
mount -t ext2 /etc/sdb1 /mnt/disk
mount: mounting /etc/sdb1 on /mnt/disk failed: No such file or directory

here are some of my system prints
