Alpine: persistent disk mounted to /media/sda even though fstab has /media/usb












0















I'm having some issues with Alpine Linux, running in "diskless" mode on ESXi. I have configured it following the instructions in the wiki.



Here's the content of the fstab file:



/dev/cdrom  /media/cdrom    iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sda /media/usb vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0


(This was configured exactly as per instructions in the wiki)



However, at boot, the /dev/sda disk is mounted on /media/sda, and nothing gets mounted on /media/usb. The consequence is that my local backup isn't restored.



How can I fix this?
