I use owfs on RasPi and I can remember struggling with 'already present' problems, but cannot remember the details. I think that I added --nozero to the command starting owfs.

One thing you should understand is that /mnt/1wire is a real directories but anything below that are pseudo directories or files created by 1wire using fuse. If you reboot the Pi then /mnt/1wire should be empty until you start 1-wire again.

Can you post back with a bit more info, how do you start owfs, which adapter do you use?

Cheers

I have used i buttons and 1wire viewer on a windows machine for many years but want to move onto system monitoring on a Raspberry Pi.

After many struggles I found “Notes on the Raspberry Pi” at http://www.noveldevices.co.uk/rp-1-wire This worked with only one hitch at Step 3 the download appeared in the folder as “download” and had to be renamed “owfs-2.8p15” for the unzip to work. The programme then ran- - once. On running a second time it reported that /mnt/1wire was already present. So I had to create 1wire.1 then 1wire.2 etc. However I can’t delete remove or change these files. I have tried sudo and tried deleting from the root. When I use –v (verbose) the deletion appears to proceed as normal but does not remove the files a folders. This is all pretty heady stuff for a newby. It appears that large set of files and folders which owfs creates in /mnt/1wire have a range of ‘permissions’ including ‘nobody’. I have tried ‘chmod’ and ‘chown’ with little effect.

Can anyone advise how these files and folders can be deleted / removed.
