Let's see if I interpret correctly your understanding of the situation.
You have among other subdirectories /dev & /mnt.
dev
sdcard0
disc0
disc
part1
part2
part3
sdcard1
disc1
disc
part1
mnt
sdcard0
sdcard1
I do not have a TS-7300 so I am more or less guessing. The issue is that
you have 2 SD card devices. You may have on subdirectory under /mnt or
as I depict 2.
I am not sure if the TS-7300 mounts anything in /mnt automatically. I
will assume not.
I originally suggested mounting your formatted partition from
/dev/sdcard0/part1 to /mnt/sdcard0.
This is what happens behind the scenes. The /dev directory has hardware
oriented descrription of the hardware in you machine. disc is the
description of the sdcard and part1 is the description of the partition.
the mount command somewhat magically "opens" what is stored inside the
part1 partition, looking for a file system (ext2 by default) and opens
it for you under /mnt/sdcard0. In your case just for sanity you may wish
to create a /mnt/sdcard1 directory or mount point. If you list the
content of /mnt/sdcard1 before the mounting it will be empty (unless you
place something in it) and after mounting the partition,
/dev/sdcard1/disc1/part1 (my numbering may be wrong) to /mnt/sdcard1 and
you list its content you may see either a lost+found folder if you just
formatted (makefs.ext2) the partition or if you successfully untar the
file (assumming it is a tar containing a file system) directories such
as /mnt/sdcard1/etc, /mnt/sdcard1/bin, etc.
The basic idea behind all this is that the /dev/ directory contains
hardware description and the mount command "opens" file systems in the
partitions and makes them available through mount points.
Once you have a file system on a mount point you may do file system
related activities such a tarring and untarring, ls, mv, cp, etc. These
operations cannot be performed on hardware components or their
surrogates descriptions under /dev/
Is this the way you perceive it?
