Just a quick one Jake, I'm now using your full script, when the line comes up saying 'read action1' how long should that take?
well, it should ask you to type something, and that becomes a variable, in this case it's "$action1". it uses this for unmounting and stuff. once you enter it though, it should ask another question or two.
Sorry to keep bugging you Jake, but I'm getting nowhere. I'm copying in what I'm getting in terminal to see if you have any idea as to what's the issue.

I've typed in $action1 but it just goes back to the directory. I've also tried action1 (without the $ sign) and /dev/sdf1 (as it's the last one in the list, but every time it just goes back to the directory.
