Well, I've tried to remount and I could not do it. I tried the same commands I used (posted in a separate earlier forum post), when I first formatted and installed this drive. As an alternative, I just bought a 2Tb Toshiba USB drive and plugged it in (a laptop serves as my server), and the HDA picke...

OK. thanks. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again !

I looked at fstab. I don't recall doing anything with this file in the past and I can't decipher what's there in terms of letting it know to reboot drive. Now it makes sense. When I rebooted after difficulties, that would mean it didn't remount (?) the drive. Is that the case based on what can be se...

Thanks. I did. At least I believe that every time I copy something into the movie shares (via Finder on my mac), for use with my DLNA app, I am copying the files there. I know for a fact that I had been doing that but as of now I'm not so sure.

Yes, I added a second drive using those directions a while back. Here is a detailed run thru of what we did back then which worked easily. And I believe the drive must be running. Which command should I run to re-mount. Obviously I don;'t need to reinstall or re-format that drive. Is there a mount c...

I also managed to find this old forum post, where It shows the sdb1 usb drive and the Linfo used to see it just fine. By comparison to the photo I uploaded to this thread a couple of days back, sdb1 is not showing.

Not sure I'm in the right spot on the dashboard. Is this the correct space to look. I;ve also looked in ls -l /dev/ and there is no "sdb1" like their used to be. Is linux utilities a separate app ?

I've seen some related posts on this topic from earlier this week and also the new link created on the topic of partitions. I will be reading that tonight. I have one - I believe minor - question before I proceed: I have installed to hard drives and have shares on both. One is native to my server (l...

Thank for this.

My own hope which may be ill informed as a beginner, is best practice options (e.g., with and without greyhole) on the topic of installing storage, updating storage, and back up processes.

OK. I am not using greyhole, but I will likely move into that direction. Regarding the drive installation: Will do. In fact, I have done this before and much of that is memorialized in earlier forum posts, so I think I can refresh that. But this brings me back to the issue I've always had. My first ...
