Strange, my version of mount allows me to mount the same partition multiple times - hence the 'already mounted' error seems odd.
Have you tried: - create new mount point - mount /dev/hdb1 to new mount point READ ONLY [perhaps using -v for more info and maybe even -i to test if mount helper is duff] - if above actually works, remount rw i.e. with mount -o remount rw <mountpoint> Is there a difference in the mount version [or mount helpers] between the two systems? Try replacing the mount and mount helpers with fresh ones?
