I guess /dev/sda should be /dev/sda1

mtd1ro              network_throughput  zero
mtd2                null
mtd2ro              port

But when i mount manually  on /dev/sda it's work... is there any manner to format it to get /dev/sda1 ?

i format my USB Storage with EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition (Windows).

Any solution!?
