Odd usb mount from HDD

I have, repeatedly, the symbol on the webif showing a USB device mounted when nothing is in the USB slots.
Investigating I found these results from mount and fdisk:
Code:

I think this anomaly was introduced when installing a new HDD, and having both attached for copying.
ISTR something in an earlier posting, but cannot think what to search on to find it.
I'd like to know how to remove the oddity.


Web interface version: 1.4.3-3
Custom firmware version: 3.13 (build 4028)
Humax Version: 1.03.12 (kernel HDR_CFW_3.13)
Loader Version: a7.31
System ID: 80bc.7e00
Serial Number: 63 7105223 00476
Last Boot Reason: Remote control handset
 
Virtual-disk2 is the culprit. The latest version of NTFS-3G will install this as a dependency. It is to do with an update to allow NTFS disks with gpt partition tables to be used. The Humax SUI does not recognise when a gpt USB disk is plugged in so it will not open the USB menu. Virtual-disk2 gets around this by mounting a virtual disk as 'media/drive1'.
If you are not using USB disks with gpt you can remove the package from the command line: opkg remove virtual-disk2 --force-depends. If you reinstall NTFS-3G, or it is updated the virtual-disk2 package will be installed again too.
 
Thanks for the info - I do have ntfs-3G installed, and didn't realise that this would automatically have included virtual-disk2.
