Can't share "/mnt/volume"

Can you send a transcript of the errors you are getting? You could show the
pertainent error messages from the dmesg command. There might be something
in there that would give us details about the error you are receiving at
boot time. Also, look through the /var/log/messages. It usually has a tidbit
or two.

I'm assuming that the mount command is working correctly. Is it just that
you can't get to the files once it's mounted? Please show what the directory
permissions look like once it's mounted. Of course, you need at least 111 to
even traverse the directory. In other words, you ought to see at least
"d--x--x--x" in the permissions. If you have "drw-rw-r--", then you would
certainly experience the problems you have described.
