WIth 2 different drives, both are noted as "sda2"

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Using the espressobin with the latest release, it has a built in SATA controller and cable for a drive. I have been using that drive with SAMBA for some time. Today I added NTFS drivers and opkg installed a NTFS USB kernel and driver but now I have two mounted drives with the same ID /mnt/sda2 The first drive, the ext4 dual partitioned has a ext4 swap partition (/mnt/sda1) and the main data partition (/mnt/sda2). When I plugged in my NTFS drive into the USB outlet, it got assigned as /mnt/sda2 so now I have a duplicate. How do I fix?

Nevermind! There is a damn "b" instead of "a" that missed my eye!!!
